More mi goreng please
Bowl of noodles
How great are packet Mi Goreng? No really how great are they? (Author: Yasmine)
As quintessential student experiences go, Mi Goreng has to be at the top of the list. There is nothing more comforting than the knowledge that if you stay late at university studying, you can come home to the umami simplicities of noodles in a bowl.
But eating from a packet often is definitely not the best option for my health. And while I am sure the flavourings have to be made from something I am not too sure what exactly that is. So lately I have been getting creative with my Mi Goreng recipes.
It鈥檚 time to pump it up!
Fried Egg
A fried egg is the perfect addition to any Mi Goreng recipe. They鈥檙e great for protein and have the most perfect creamy textured yolk if you fry them quickly.
Bok Choy
Bok choy is one of the best healthier ingredients to add to a soupier Mi Goreng. Perfectly chewy texture, reminiscent of a gorgeous bowl of ramen and enough green to make you feel a bit better about such an indulgence.
Frozen peas, corn and carrot
As super simple fix but snap frozen veggies really are the most convenient options sometimes!
Prawns
I always love prawns with butter and garlic and they truly do bring some well needed texture and even more umami flavour to the whole dish.
Its not always easy to maintain a healthy diet while at university but something I have learnt is that even small changes like adding some veggies to your Mi Goreng are better than nothing at all!
