Bami Goreng ala Malay Spice
Ik koop bijna nooit de 'ready made' boemboe pasta want ik vind dat er te veel MSG is. Dus...ik maak mijn eigen verse boemboe...een beetje pittig, just the way we like it.

I rarely buy the ready-made mix that you can easily get here. I find that there's too much MSG in it. So I make my own from fresh ingredients. I made it spicy, as we prefer it that way.
There are many variatons to this recipe, but the basis of it is about the same.
Ingredients:
400g bami / other noodles
2 eggs, beaten and fried scrambled
500g beef / chicken filet (beef - sliced thinly)
2 cloves garlic *
1 1/2 medium sized red onion *
1/2 cm ginger *
8 pieces of dried chillies * (may use fresh chillies / chilli powder. Add more if you prefer the noodles to be spicier. Since my son can't take spicy food, this is somewhat mild to moderate.)
(* Blend these ingredients fine.)
Other ingredients : prawns, surimi, etc
bami mixed veg - leek, carrots, taugeh (bean sprouts) or pak soi
1) Cook the noodles according to the package. I add a bit of olive oil through the noodles after draining the water out.
2) Heat some oil in a large wok. When it is hot, add the blended ingredients and stir fry till fragrant.
3) Add the meat till it is cooked and salt through the mix. Add the prawns and fry till they are done.
(If you also use surimi, add it together with the eggs.)
4) Add the veg and noodles. Mix all the ingredients. You might need to add more salt, according to
taste. Some people add soy sauce. (I do not.)
5) Add the scrambled eggs and mix through the noodles. Sprinkle with fried shallots (optional).
May add a lime wedge when serving.
