Mee goreng, is a type of noodle dish, mostly sold in the Indian Muslim stalls at hawker centres and coffee shops in Singapore and Malaysia.  When I was young, I used to watch a mee goreng hawker tossing the noodles in a big iron wok fired by charcoal stove!  The smell of the mee goreng that wafted from that wok and his frying spatula clanking on the sides of the work is so unforgettable!

Here is a recipe for a Mee Goreng.  Try frying this noodle during the weekend and share your photos with everyone!
