Questions

Can I make Mi Goreng gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 8 oz egg noodles, cooked, 3 tbsp kecap manis sweet soy sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the pasta for a gluten-free one, cooked a minute short of its package time; the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Mi Goreng keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Mi Goreng?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
