Mie Goreng Jawa (Javanese Fried Noodles)

Ingredients

• 12 oz Egg noodles, dried
• 1 cup Chicken, cooked and shredded
• 0.5 cup Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
• 0.5 cup Carrot, julienned
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 medium Shallots, minced
• 3 pieces Candlenuts, ground
• 4 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the 12 oz dried egg noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are firm to the bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander and set them aside.
2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Pour in the 1 large beaten egg and scramble it, stirring gently, for 1-2 minutes until it is just cooked through and no liquid egg remains. Remove the scrambled egg from the skillet and set it aside.
3. 3Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons coconut oil to the same large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Add the 4 cloves minced garlic, 3 minced shallots, and 3 ground candlenuts; sauté for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. 4Add the 1 cup cooked shredded chicken and 0.5 cup peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn opaque and pink throughout; the internal temperature of the shrimp should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. 5Add the 1 cup shredded cabbage and 0.5 cup julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a slight crispness.
6. 6Add the cooked 12 oz egg noodles, 4 tablespoons coconut aminos, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together well, using tongs or a spatula, to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
7. 7Return the cooked 1 large scrambled egg to the skillet. Add the 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon pepper. Stir everything together gently for 1 minute to combine all ingredients thoroughly and ensure they are heated through.
8. 8Serve the Mie Goreng Jawa immediately while hot.
