Mee Goreng (Fried Noodle) Tek Tek is like Indonesian national street food. The fact that the sellers are using street cart and dragging the cart around all neighbourhoods while creating the noise to attract the potential dinner hunger customers (you don't definitely need to go to their cart, in fact they will approach your house gate and cook in front of your house) . The sellers are creating the noise by hitting the wok pan that sounds like "tag tag" or "tek tek" in Indonesian spelling. That's where the name tek tek comes from.

Cooking Instructions

  8. 8

    Add the chopped cabbage.

  9. 9

    Season it as you want with salt, pepper, fish sauce, additional sweet soy sauce until it tastes good (but remember you have added the sweet soy sauce to the noodle so just add it using your common sense!)
