Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams yellow mee noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 100 grams cabbage, shredded
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 150 grams firm tofu, cubed
- 1 tablespoon low-fat vegetable oil
- 1 whole lemon or lime, cut into wedges
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Instructions
Start by boiling the yellow mee noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and chili paste. Set aside this sauce mixture.
Heat a large non-stick wok or pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Incorporate the cubed firm tofu into the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown slightly.
Add the julienned carrot and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Toss in the cooked noodles and pour over the sauce mixture, stirring well to coat the noodles evenly.
Gently fold in the bean sprouts and cook for another 2 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Remove the wok from heat and finish by garnishing with sliced green onions and fresh coriander leaves.
Serve immediately, with lemon or lime wedges on the side for an added zing.
