Mie Goreng Jawa (Javanese Fried Noodles)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Egg Noodles
• 1 lb Chicken Thighs, boneless and skinless, diced
• 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 2 Green Onions, chopped
• 4 tbsp Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis)
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce (Vegetarian)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Shallots, minced
• 2 large Eggs, scrambled
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper

Instructions

1. 1To cook the 1 lb of egg noodles, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the 1 lb of egg noodles and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander and set them aside.
2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is approximately 375°F (190°C). Once the oil is shimmering, add the 3 cloves of minced garlic and the 3 minced shallots. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant and are lightly golden brown.
3. 3Add the 1 lb of diced boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken pieces are browned on all sides and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. 4Stir in the 1 cup of shredded cabbage and the 1 medium julienned carrot with the chicken. Continue to stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a crisp texture.
5. 5Add the cooked 1 lb of egg noodles to the skillet. Pour in the 4 tbsp of sweet soy sauce, the 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and the 1 tbsp of vegetarian oyster sauce. Gently toss and stir all ingredients together for 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauces and heated through.
6. 6Fold in the 2 large scrambled eggs and the 2 chopped green onions. Stir gently for 1 to 2 minutes, until the eggs are fully incorporated into the noodles and heated through.
7. 7Season the Mie Goreng Jawa with the 1/2 tsp of salt and the 1/4 tsp of pepper. Stir one final time to distribute the seasoning evenly. Serve the Mie Goreng Jawa hot immediately.
