Think Mi Goreng is Indonesian form of Noodles similar to how Japan has Ramen.

 

[gelina]

Have you guys tasted real mi goreng?

As in the non-instant one from restaurants or your Indonesioan momma's pot (not that I'm indonesian)

Tastes different and I'm still deciding whether instant is better (taste-wise)

 

[ujuphleg]

Well yeah, real mee goreng or mi goreng (depending on whether you're Malaysian or Indonesian) is basically tomato noodles, which, when done correctly is frikking awesome.

Well you suck then.
I don't eat it all that much these days, if you have it multiple days in a row you can just feel all the salt and oil accumulating. It's really only great if you're broke.

Thats shameful

Bread
Marg/Butter
Condensed Milk etcc...

Come on surely you can up with some good meals that are good for u rather than quick fixxes in less than five minutes.

Lengy's one is good - kebab.


Fried Rice:

Frozen Vegies
Stock - Chicken
Roast Chicken from Woolies
Rice

OK two ways to make it:
1. Cook Frozen vegies - stiry fry style - with ur favourites sauces
meanwhile cook rice
so frozen vegies should be cook
mix with rice and add chicken


2. Cook vegies and rice to gether bring to boil.
Mix rice properly after cooked, add chicken and favourtie sauces.

 

[CieL]

^ yeah well, the thread talks about food in 5mins or less..

I'm pretty sure you cant even boil rice in that time.. let alone make fried rice =[
My rice cooker takes 20mins?

 

[fly.away.fairy]

Boil some noodles.
Fry some onion, tomato, zuccini carrot any other veggies for about 5 minutes, and some mayo or sourcream and mix with noodles. Under 10minutes and very nice.


Or-- bread, tomato sause, and a hotdog(2 minutes boiling)
and you got a quick meal.
Ive got some really good ones but im stuck for ideas atm, ill update later

Re: Recipies Suggestion

umm delicious five minute recipies..

1. Mi goreng

2. The end

lol no there toasted sandwhiches are also good and quick. you just need a waffle iron or sandwhich toaster for that.
or chicken salad sandwhiches on fresh bread or rolls. mmmmmm.
i can't think of anything else right now..

MI GORENG ftw !!

this is something i like to make often when we need a quick sunday night meal. usually we have it with a barbeque chicken and another salad, such as a greek one.

cold hokkien noodle salad

you need:
- 175g pack of hokkien noodles
- 1 capsicum
- 1 tin of baby corn spears
- a couple of handfuls of snow peas
- sweet chilli sauce

separate noodles in a bowl of boiling water, chop capsicum, de-string and blanch snow peas for a couple of minutes in boiling water, add ingredients together in a large salad bowl, add tin of baby corn, add sweet chilli sauce as per your tastes, mix well and enjoy.

hokkien noodle stirfry

you need:
- 175g pack of hokkien noodles
- few leaves of baby bok choy
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1.5 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp corn flour added with 1/2 cup cold water
- 0.25 clove crushed garlic

Remove oil from noodles by blanching.
For non-stick pans/woks: 1 teaspoon oil
For regular pans: 1 tablespoon oil
Heat the pan with oil in it, when hot enough saute the crushed garlic.
Add a minute amount of light soy sauce (approx 1/2 teaspoons)

Place noodles into pan/wok and stir through, adding oyster sauce and the remaining light soy sauce.
Stir through, add the 1 tbsp corn flour WITH 1/2 cup cold water. This will add a saucy texture, use dark soy sauce to reduce the white colour.

When heat begins to resurface (noted by lots of steam), add few leaves of baby bok choy and stir for another minute then turn off the heat to let the remaining heat cook the stirfry.

Serve.

EDIT: Garlic portion size reduced.
1 clove garlic is only suitable for 1kg of Hokkein Noodles. Reduce garlic if necessary.

Mans that good recipe you got there - I reckon you add a few more veggies or make the veggies separately.

Well 175g is quite a small portion size.
Ideally there should be two-thirds noodle and one-third vegies, if you have too much vegies you might as well turn it into a salad like the one before me.

 

[Serius]

I am a god at this

Ghetto pizza

bread
can of tomatoes, tomato moosh or whatever you can find
ham
cheese

take a some pita bread, a tortilla or 2 peices of toast if you dont have those [we always have some sort of flat bread at my house]

open a can of homebrand tomato goop ontop. Grab your bag of grated cheese, poorsome on top. Grab your ham, cut it up into crazy little grids then throw the ham squares on top.

Microwave for about a minute and you have yourself a pizza that costs approx $1.50 to make

 

[Skeeta]

My easy meals are usually fajita's


- Cook chicken/steak on bbq (and slice it up)
- Mix up some avocado, salt, pepper, garlic and sour cream (i use lactose free)
- Chop some tomato, lettuce
- whack it all on a burrito tortilla, stick whatever else you want on it (sweet chilli, cheese etc)
- Roll it up kebab style and eat.

Its awesome for when you've got a heap of people over. Cheap, doesnt take long to cook and everyone just helps themself
