About Mi goreng

Mi Goreng, which translates to 'fried noodles' in Indonesian and Malay, is a beloved dish originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. It typically consists of stir-fried noodles combined with protein sources like chicken, shrimp, tofu, or eggs, and vegetables such as cabbage or bean sprouts, all seasoned with garlic, chili, sweet soy sauce, and spices. Mi Goreng is calorie-dense due to its carbohydrate and fat content, providing quick energy. Nutritionally, it offers a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and fats with varying amounts of vitamins like B-complex from noodles and essential minerals like iron, depending on the specific recipe. However, pre-packaged versions may have higher sodium and fat due to added seasonings and oil.
