MAKING MIE GORENG | HOME ECONOMICS 🍲

Yesterday in Home Economics Chloe, Kayne, Jay and I made Mie Goreng. Mie Goreng is a traditional Asian fried noodle dish which is typically spicy. 

INGREDIENTS 

• 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce
• 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons of sweet chilli sauce
• 2 crushed garlic cloves or one tablespoon of crushed garlic
• Quarter teaspoon of salt
• 200g of sliced beef or pork schnitzel
• 2 teaspoons of oil
• Fresh or dried noodles
• 2 lightly beaten eggs
• 2 carrots
• 2 finely chopped spring onions
• 1 cup of mung bean sprouts
• 1/4 or 2 cups of finely sliced green cabbage

METHOD

In a bowl, we combined the sauces and beef (which we sliced on the red chopping board) as well as the garlic and salt. We then stirred it to coat in evenly and set aside for 5 minutes to marinate.

While it marinated we chopped up the carrots, cabbage and spring onions finely. We also set up the Wok cooker and heated it up on the stove.

When the meat was finished marinating we put a quarter of it in the Wok and started to cook it. When cooking in small batches the pan temperature doesn't drop and the meat doesn't stew instead of seal. 

We cooked the noodles in the microwave according to the packet instruction while the meat was cooking, and beat the egg with some salt and pepper.

Then, when everything was prepared, we cooked the cabbage, spring onions, mung beans, carrots, eggs, noodles and beef till everything was soft. We then served.  This was where Chloe and I decided to add more Sweet Chilli Sauce and Soy Sauce to ours to make it more flavourful. 

I actually would have preferred to add Worcester Sauce and Paprika to mine at home to make it better. I also would have added corn (although it's not traditional) and more beef. 

RESULTS
In terms of safety this week I think we did pretty well. We got one point deducted because our chairs were not tucked in all the way which is something we kind of struggle with. We cleaned up quickly and effectively with only one point for cleaning taken away (we forgot a single tea towel). 

I really enjoyed making Mie Goreng and it's something I want to make with my family at home cause it's healthy.
