Bami Goreng (Indonesian Version of Lo Mein) image

My grandmother was born in Indonesia and growing up we awaited the next time she would make Bami Goreng- "Fried Noodles." She made it with pork, but since I no longer eat pork I substitute chicken here. This is the basic version. You can add any vegetable you like. I add tiny frozen peas and carrots for color, or red or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced using a mandolin.

This bami goreng was a great success! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the kecap manis, which gave the dish a slightly sweet and savory flavor.
