Stir-fried Noodles with Shrimp

Bakmie Goreng Udang

There are a few dishes available in every single restaurant across Indonesia that are
universally loved and recognized as national dishes and Stir-fry Noodles with Shrimp
is one of those dishes. For many of my childhood years, my family and I would order
these noodles at every restaurant we frequented, whether at a stately hotel or a modest
local one. Rich egg noodles are the alluring factor in this dish, gently stir-fried with
thick, sweet soy sauce, and succulent shrimp. Pungent garlic, sweet shallots, and spicy

Sriracha combine to lend an intoxicating scent of savory and spicy accents. Intensely
green Chinese broccoli provides the added source of nutrients in this irresistible dish,
though any leafy greens could be substituted. These stir-fried noodles are a delight for
the palate and a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors for the eyes.
