These Mee Goreng Noodles Feed a Family for 10 dollars! - CHEAP Eats

[@FloLum]

Even at the high grocery prices we are experiencing now, this meal is still less than $10 for a family of 4! Eat well, save money. Happy Sunday! 💕

[@TracyKMainwaring]

this looks so yummy. Since I'm really close to being pre-diabetic though, it's not something I can enjoy. My daughter would love it

[@FloLum]

@Tracy Mainwaring So sorry to hear that. 😔

[@TracyKMainwaring]

@@FloLum I didn’t mean to comment under your pinned comment…my phone is silly. PreT2D affects SO many people, and most don’t even know they have it. So I’m lucky in a way 😀

[@kwaggoner2494]

Made this tonight Flo. It was a huge hit with the family. I sprinkled a couple handfuls of chopped cashews on top too since I had them in my pantry. Really fantastic and economical recipe.

[@girlloveshemp642]

This looks so good. Where do you get the noodles?

[@gladysma308]

Thank you. 0:43 sauce: 3 T dark sweet sauce, 2 T Light soy, 1 T oyster sauce, 2 T ketchup, and optional spiciness 1 T sambal. precooked noodle 1.25 lb. ; Green union, 3 cloves garlic, 2 shallots, 4 choisum, a handle of sprout, 2 eggs, 6 oz. shrimp, (3 for each person), 6 oz. of chicken (one thigh and a drumstick), 5:17 stir fry

[@maryannr8464]

I love “You can just omit it”. Where it doesn’t make this recipe any less flavorful or delicious. My new favorite because I made this today. Love your cookbook.

[@larryluder4235]

I love that you teaching us these frugal comfort food meal during these hard economic times

[@davidhalldurham]

My mouth is watering! We really appreciate your economical dishes these days. Please keep 'em coming. Also, for people unfamiliar with shrimp paste...well, it's absolutely delicious mixed in dishes, but in its "raw" state it smells like the sewer backed up. In other words, please don't let the smell scare you away.

[@JK-ml4bs]

Your comment is hilarious and spot on! 😂. How much of the shrimp paste (belechan) would you use Flo?

[@IrishAnnie]

Thanks for the warning!!! 😂. That’s what I always say about cheese…..stinky.

[@joemroz1033]

I find fermented shrimp paste in little jars, as a paste.

[@tkam9]

Lee Kum Kee sell shrimp paste in a small jar. You just add a tiny portion like 1/3 of a tea spoon.

[@wendyh.169]

Just made it. Really delicious and my whole family enjoyed it! Managed to find all the ingredients listed. Definitely need the splash of sesame oil to balance out the sweetness of the sauce. Will make again!

[@kwaggoner2494]

Really appreciating your affordable and easy options. With teens, our grocery bill lately has been insane!!

[@michaelmccabe4045]

Hello. I just discovered your videos and wanted to share- My in-laws were from Holland and they often made Indonesian dishes, like Nasi or Bami Goreng. Since they are gone, my wife makes these dishes. I handle the grill when needed. But after watching a number of your vids, I am ready to do it! Thank you, Michael.

[@nataliehowe6213]

I just love how accessible you make your recipes. I have a nice wok, but you also give the option to just use a frying pan. You give suggestions to omit or substitute some of the ingredients if they are hard to find. Anyone could make this, and I can't wait to try it out on the family.

[@justnotg00d]

Okay, just made the Mee Goreng Noodles. I was hesitant, so many items I have not used before. It is great. I added a tad of Cayenne just to give it a bit more kick. Loved it. I will have to go through your cookbook that I bought and see what else I can do. The Egg Drop Soup that I did came out to $1.41 per serving, about 12 ounces in my bowl. Got 10 servings or so, forgot to count every time. Thank you so much. /// Just finished making and eating (most) of the noodles recipe. It came to $17.87, the cost per serving is $2.98 for a plate that is not small. I had five servings in the last two days and there is one serving left. I loved it. Compare to $20.00 to $25.00 per person for fast food, which is "supposed" to be cheap, there is no comparison. Thank you so much for helping me solve diet/nutrition and financial problems. Thank you, Thank you.

[@ijsbrandvreugdenhil4652]

Shrimp paste is Trassi, Sambal badjak is the most popular sambal and for Ketjap Manis you can find many recepies on the internet. Ketjap Kental is even thicker. In Nederland we have a rich tradition with Malaysian and Indonesian food. Selamat Makan for Dude and then Habis makan buang piring if you eat from a banana leaf.

[@007myproperty]

Omg, it's late here in UK 12.30am, as a ex Singaporean growing up in UK these are just a few dishes I so much missed...looks like I will be going to the Asians shops for some ingredients tomorrow... love the videos.

[@gopalchandran2445]

Greetings to you Flo from Perth in Western Australia 🇦🇺. I am originally from Malaysia and I tried this receipe. It came out well but it was a bit sweet. Our grandchildren loved it. I am going to try it again by replacing the kecap manis with caramelised dark sauce and omit the belachan and increase the sambal. I think the adults will love it. Thank you and have a good time in Hawaii. God bless.

[@sonalchavan3973]

This was so therapeutic. Right from your voice to the in-depth explanation. Thank you for sharing.

It so happens that im in Indonesia a lot...iv always wondered what they put in their secret sauces to flavor it...I love it that you are using the orginal ABC brand...hehe... thats the best one..

[@constancedreiseidel9412]

Thank you for all of your recipes. I have your cookbook and made the orange chicken tonight but I stir fried the chicken instead of air frying. It was delicious. Thank you again!

[@janettanaka2894]

Hi Flo and Dude….I cannot wait to try out this recipe. I’ve made a couple of your noodle dishes with great success. I purchased your cookbook and it just arrived the other day. Very excited to continue with your fantastic recipes. 😊🇨🇦

[@lynwilson5385]

Another delicious recipe to add to the collection, can't wait to try this one! Fed up and feeling guilty sitting with pen and paper trying to copy your recipe that I've bought your homestyle cookbook, I'm pretty sure it's going to be well used and I can throw out all my scraps of paper! Hahaha

[@julesherman6802]

If you're using kecap manis, then you are making Indonesian mie goreng. Singapore and Malaysian are the chinese version of mie goreng.

[@946brandon]

Ate fried mie too often when in Malaysia. It's so good. I watched several KZbin videos but yours is the one that I'll make because it is authentic to what I ate and loved. Thanks

[@gainesvillehomes]

I made this last night and it was fabulous. I've been learning my wok. I've followed your channel and studied well. Thank you!

I appreciate you mentioning thing like the shrimp paste/belacan as we can get that easily where we are so it's nice to be able to include those things when we can get it

[@hunchbackaudio]

Where I’m at it’s called trassi if I’m not mistaken. It looks exactly the same, so I’ll use that.

[@bobsamchuck]

Mee goreng is a Malaysian word for fried wheat noodle and was a dish from the Islamic South Indian dish that was introduced into Malaysia and become popular also in Singapore, just for your info! It probably was a representation of the Chinese noodle dishes as this dish isn't found in India, however with the return of the Indian diaspora it can be found in Tamil towns!

Where do you get the yellow egg noodles? At every Asian grocer in southern Arizona, I can only get wheat noodles (pancit). In Australia, I could the yellow noodles (we called them Hokkien Mee) at every Asian grocer. Mee Goreng just doesn't taste the same without the proper noodles?
