Mee goreng mamak
This Malaysian fried noodle dish comes together with a rich, spiced paste and plenty of fresh ingredients. You'll start by building a deeply aromatic base from peanuts, chilies, and dried prawns, then blending it with tamarind to create a complex sauce. The noodles are stir-fried in individual portions with tender potatoes, fried tofu, cabbage, Chinese broccoli, and prawn fritters. A quick egg scramble in the wok finishes each plate, making for a satisfying meal that's worth the prep time.
