I like Mee Goreng, it is the only yellow noodle I do not mind eating. The stall near my house is ridiculously expensive. Without any meat, it was already S$6 before covid time.
Sudden craving for Mee Goreng so I decided to whip up some to satisfy myself.
I have added prawns in, if not this dish is considered economical. These days, our food prices are going up so much that I am wondering how some can survive.
Learning: This recipe good enough to satisfy the craving and definitely better than the mamak stall near my house. 😋😋
