About Migoreng

Migoreng, also known as mee goreng, is a popular stir-fried noodle dish originating from Indonesia and widely enjoyed across Southeast Asia. Traditionally, it is prepared with yellow noodles, a mix of vegetables, protein such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and a savory, slightly sweet sauce often flavored with soy sauce, garlic, chili, and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). Its nutritional profile varies depending on ingredients, but a standard serving contains around 190 calories, 4g of protein, 25g of carbs, 7.5g of fat, 1.5g of fiber, and small amounts of calcium, iron, and vitamin C. While flavorful and customizable, Migoreng is often moderately high in carbohydrates and sodium, depending on the recipe and condiments used.

Common Questions About Migoreng Nutrition

Is Migoreng high in protein?

Migoreng contains 4 grams of protein per serving, which is relatively low compared to high-protein foods like chicken or tofu. It can be paired with protein-rich additions like eggs, chicken, or tempeh to increase its protein content in meals.

Can I eat Migoreng on a keto diet?

Migoreng is not suitable for a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate content (25 grams per serving). Keto diets typically limit carbohydrate intake to extremely low levels, so this dish would not fit within those guidelines.

Is Migoreng healthy to eat regularly?

While Migoreng can be a quick and tasty option, it’s relatively high in sodium (425 mg per serving) and low in fiber (1.5 grams), which may not be ideal for frequent consumption. Consider balancing Migoreng with vegetables and lean protein to make it more nutritionally complete.

What is the recommended portion size for Migoreng?

A standard serving of Migoreng is typically around 190 calories, which can serve as the carbohydrate portion in a meal. Depending on your dietary needs, you may choose to pair one serving with vegetables and proteins for a balanced plate.

How does Migoreng compare to other instant noodles?

Migoreng is similar to many instant noodles in terms of calorie and macronutrient content, though its flavor profile is unique due to its sweet and savory Indonesian-inspired spices. Compared to plain varieties, it often has slightly higher sodium and fat due to the seasoning packet.
