Questions

What internal temperature should Mi Goreng Soup reach?

For Mi Goreng Soup, the target internal temperature is 165 F (about 75 C), given in step 3. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

What can I use instead of sambal oelek in Mi Goreng Soup?

The entry for Mi Goreng Soup calls for 2 tsp sambal oelek. In its place: Sriracha or any plain chili-garlic sauce works, measure for measure. Crushed red pepper flakes soaked in a little vinegar also do the job.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in Mi Goreng Soup?

Yes. Boneless thighs at the same weight are more forgiving and stay juicier. Give them two to four minutes longer; they are at their best around 175 F rather than 165 F. As written, the entry for Mi Goreng Soup uses 0.5 lb chicken breast, sliced.

Is Mi Goreng Soup spicy?

Yes, it is properly hot. The heat in Mi Goreng Soup comes from 2 tsp sambal oelek. For a milder plate, start with half the sambal and add more to taste at the end; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Does Mi Goreng Soup contain eggs?

Yes: 2 eggs. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How much protein is in Mi Goreng Soup?

One serving (the recipe makes 2) has 32 g of protein in about 540 calories, alongside 62 g carbohydrate and 18 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 1150 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein soup collection.

How do I store and reheat Mi Goreng Soup?

Refrigerate Mi Goreng Soup for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The noodles will go on swelling in the broth; for the best texture on day two, store that part separately or cook it fresh.
