Maggi Mee Goreng (easy version)

When it comes to instant noodles, I like mine either dried, or fried. Occasionally I'll go for the soup, that is, only occasionally.

This is what I often make using instant noodles - maggi mee goreng. It is very similar to mamak style cooking, except mine is simpler, in the sense of complexity and number of ingredients.

Ingredients: (for 2 person)

• Instant noodles 2 packets.
• Vege (can be beansprouts, sliced cabbage, sliced Nappa, sawi ... ). If you have tomatoes on hand you can add them in too.
• 1 egg
• curry powder 1 tbsp
• sugar - a pinch
  
• crisp shallots
• 1 clove of garlic, chopped.
  
• half lemon, or 1 lime
• oil
• (optional) chilli powder
  

Methods:

1. Cook the instant noodles till soft. Drain, and keep it aside.
2. Place wok over medium-high heat, lightly fry the chopped garlic.
   
3. Add in the vege (if you're using bean sprouts, do not add in now, see step # 7), stir fry for 1-2 minute.
4. Add in noodles. Continue frying.
5. Add in curry powder, (chilli powder, if you like it spicier), a pinch of sugar, and half to entire packet of seasoning (that comes together with the instant noodle) to taste. You can add in a lil' bit of soy sauce if you want to.
   
6. Push noodles to the edge of wok to create a 'well' in the middle of the pan. Crack in the egg. Stir them around to scramble them and when the egg start to set, combine with the noodles.
   
7. Add in bean sprouts, fry on high heat for another 1-2 min.
8. Squeesh in the lemon/lime juice to the noodles. Garnish the top with crisp shallots.
   

Tada ...
