Mee Goreng Mamak, Indian Muslim Style Fried Noodles - "Malaysian Monday 17"

I was not looking forward to the early rise on Monday morning after my weekend sleep ins, fortunately it is also time for another Malaysian Monday installment. I made a quick fried noodles with the leftover prawn fritters (adding prawn fritters to mee goreng is a Cameron Highlands' tradition, the same stall also sells Indian rojak).

P.S One gets a better result by cooking individual servings unless you have a powerful gas stove.

Prepare the ingredients.

I added prawn fritters to my mee goreng, this is a Cameron Highlands' tradition since the vendor also sells Indian rojak. (one of the main ingredients in the dish)

Saute garlic with a little oil in a hot wok, add cabbage and tofu puffs and continue to cook for a minute.

Add the rest of the ingredients (except the egg), 2 tbs of the spice paste and seasonings. Mix well and cook on high heat for a further minute.

Make a well in the middle of the wok, add a little more oil then crack in the egg. 

When the egg is 60% cooked, mix everything up and continue to cook on high heat for a further minute. Check for seasonings.

Serve immediately with extra sliced chillies and a wedge on lime or lemon.
