Fried Noodle (Bakmi Goreng)
Servings: Four generous portions
For his birthday, my husband doesn’t want any present. He just wants me to make Fried Noodle, one of his favourite food which I hate to cook because it’s so tedious. Besides, home-cooked Fried Noodle never takes on the smoky and charred flavours so prized in the stall-bought one. Noodles tend to stick. They’re heavy. The ingredients are numerous, preparation long, etc, etc. I never bother.
But, following the mantra of dedicated wives all over the world, I’m supposed to say "Anything for my dear husband" or "The precious look on his face when he lights up eating the noodle is so worth it", right? So I did.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that home-made noodles actually do not stick as much as their store-bought counterpart. I managed to create the charred and smoky effect too. I also discovered that with a little planning, the whole thing is actually not too difficult to make.
So, here’s the note. I’ll definitely make it again. Next year.
