About Bihun goreng

Bihun Goreng is a popular Indonesian stir-fried rice vermicelli dish made with thin rice noodles, vegetables, and a mix of seasonings such as garlic, soy sauce, and chili. Originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, this dish is commonly enjoyed as a quick and flavorful meal, often featuring protein additions like egg, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Nutritionally, Bihun Goreng is a carbohydrate-rich dish due to the rice vermicelli, and its nutritional profile can vary depending on the added ingredients. It provides B-complex vitamins from the noodles, fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, and a decent protein source when paired with meat or plant-based proteins.

Health Benefits

• Provides energy through complex carbohydrates in rice vermicelli, supporting daily metabolic functions.
• Contains vitamin B6, which aids in neurotransmitter production and red blood cell formation, particularly if fortified noodles are used.
• Vegetable additions contribute dietary fiber, promoting digestive health and providing vitamins such as vitamin C and beta-carotene.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains soy (from soy sauce), gluten (if soy sauce contains wheat), seafood (if shrimp is used), egg (if egg is added)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if made without meat or seafood), gluten-free (if gluten-free soy sauce is used)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if egg or non-vegan protein is included), low-carb (due to the high carbohydrate content)

Selection and Storage

Store cooked Bihun Goreng in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before consuming to ensure food safety. Cook noodles and vegetables fresh for better texture.
