Easy Seafood Mee Goreng/ Seafood Fried Noodles – Malay style stir-fried noodles with seafood and spicy seasonings are super easy to fix and perfect for any day of the week.

Easy Seafood Mee Goreng/ Seafood Fried Noodles

The thought of mee goreng made me feel all nostalgic. It’s one of my favorite street/hawker food when I lived in Indonesian and Singapore. I wrote at length about Indonesian Mie Goreng a while ago. I believe every country around the world has its own version of mie/mee goreng.

WHAT IS MEE GORENG?
Mee means noodles and goreng is loosely translated to fry/stir-fry in this case. I wrote “mie goreng” for Indonesian mie goreng because that’s how we wrote “mie” in Indonesian language. Mee is more commonly used in Singapore and Malaysia. This seafood mee goreng is more of the Singapore Malay style. Of course, each country has a slightly different version, but they don’t deviate too much. Mee goreng is basically a stir-fried noodle 🙂 It’s a highly popular street/hawker food in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

WHAT KIND OF SEAFOOD CAN I USE IN THIS RECIPE?
I only used shrimp in this recipe, but squid, slices of fish cakes, and crab meat are commonly used for seafood mee goreng.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE SEAFOOD?
You don’t have to use seafood if you are not a seafood eater. Some people use meats of their choices like chicken. Pork is not commonly used because this is more of a Malay style mee goreng and so usually ingredients need to be halal (no pork).

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SEAFOOD MEE GORENG IN A NUTSHELL
1. Fresh noodle is best
If you can get fresh egg noodle, use that. If you must use dried egg noodles, make sure you don’t overcook them
2. Make sure your wok/skillet is hot
Heat is very important in making pretty much any stir-fried noodles
3. Cook the seafood first
Seafood cooks quickly and so you don’t want to overcook them. Stir fry them first and then dish out
4. Cook aromatics next
Stir-frying aromatics will add an extra depth of flavor to your overall dish
5. Cook the eggs
Crack in eggs and let them set a little bit before stir frying them
6. Cook veggie next
It’s cabbage in this case and stir fry until it’s soft but still have a slight crunch
7. Add noodles, seafood, and seasonings
These are usually added last. Give it a good stir so the seasonings are picked up by everything in the wok/skillet
8. Garnish and serve immediately
Mee goreng tastes best when served straight away

HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT SEAFOOD MEE GORENG
Store: you can store leftover in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Freeze: I personally don’t recommend freezing seafood mee goreng just because the texture of the seafood and noodles won’t be the same after reheating
Reheating: You can reheat in the microwave or reheating them by stir frying again on the wok/skillet
