- 100 g Firm tofu(Cut into 1cm (approx. 1/2 inch) cubes. Should be pre-fried until golden brown and slightly crispy.)
- 1 medium Potato(Boiled until tender, then cut into 1cm (approx. 1/2 inch) cubes. Can be boiled ahead of time.)
- 2 Eggs(Lightly beaten.)
- 1 cup Bean sprouts(Trimmed.)
- 3 tbsp Tomato ketchup(Adds sweetness and tang.)
- 2 tbsp Chili paste(Such as sambal oelek or a Malaysian chili paste. Adjust to your spice preference.)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce(Preferably light soy sauce.)
- 2 wedges Lime(For serving.)
- 2 tbsp Fried shallots(For garnish.)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil(For stir-frying.)
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the pre-fried tofu cubes and boiled potato cubes. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are heated through and lightly golden.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 2
Push the tofu and potato to one side of the wok. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Break up the scrambled egg into smaller pieces.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Add the chili paste to the scrambled egg and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the cooked yellow noodles, tomato ketchup, and soy sauce to the wok. Toss everything together vigorously over high heat, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Add the bean sprouts to the wok and toss for another 1-2 minutes, just until they are slightly wilted but still retain some crispness. Be careful not to overcook the sprouts.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Divide the Mee Goreng between two serving plates. Garnish generously with fried shallots. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles just before eating.

💡 Profitipps
- ✓Achieving high heat is crucial for stir-frying to get that characteristic wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor and to prevent noodles from becoming mushy.
- ✓Tomato ketchup is key for the signature tangy-sweet flavor profile of Mee Goreng Mamak.
- ✓Don't skip squeezing fresh lime juice over the noodles right before serving; it cuts through the richness and adds a bright, refreshing finish.
- ✓Ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before you start cooking, as stir-frying happens very quickly.
