Malaysian Stir-fried Noodles (Mee Goreng Mamak)

As easy as it is many people do not know that it is easy to make your own mamak fried noodle at home. I first learned from a recipe book then amended it because something is lacking.

If you are going to mamak restaurant they will come with verities, sometimes spicy, salty and sometimes taste just like instant fried me you buy from a supermarket. My recipe is a little bit sweet and spicy. I use left over roasted chicken and add fresh squid in the sambal, it make my noodle taste less 'vege' :-) add add texture in it. This my favourite noodle for now.

Tips: Rinse trough noodle in hot water to avoid salty noodle.
