Mi Goreng: IndoMie with Broccoli

Have any of you tried the IndoMie brand's Mi Goreng noodles? It's a fancier and much tastier version of our own Maggi noodles. This has got to be the tastiest instant noodle out there. 


You boil the noodles separately and mix the sauces that come with it. There is a spice mix, a chili oil and a sauce that comes in the pack. If you can get your hands on these noodles, do try them.


Serve with blanched Broccoli or any other vegetable and top with a fried egg for a complete meal.

Soak the Chickpeas and Black beans overnight. Alternatively, use canned beans. Drain and wash before use.
