Notes
- Noodles - You can either use fresh egg noodles or dry egg noodles. If you use dry noodles boil the noodles by the packet instructions and rinse in cold water and drain the water out. Toss some vegetable oil on the noodles and separate the strands.
- Sambal - You can use any sambal sauce, Indonesian or Malaysian. If you cannot get sambal sauce you can substitute it with Chinese chilli garlic sauce.
- Sweet soy sauce ( Kecap Manis ) - Sweet thick dark soy sauce mostly use in Malaysian and Indonesian cooking. Key ingredients to add to this recipe. If you can't get at your local stores, you can make homemade sweet soy sauce.
- Homemade Sweet Soy Sauce Recipe - In a saucepan mix the same amount of light soy sauce (all-purpose soy sauce ) and palm sugar ( or brown sugar ) and reduce the sauce. Stir with low heat, until it becomes a thick sticky syrup texture. You can make extra sauce, keep in clean air-tight jars, and store for later use. ( i.e. 1 cup soy sauce + 1 cup sugar )
- Customize your ingredients - You don't need to add the exact same protein, vegetables, and sauces. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
