Questions

What internal temperature should Mie Goreng reach?

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

Is there a substitute for kecap manis in Mie Goreng?

The entry for Mie Goreng calls for 3 tbsp kecap manis. In its place: Simmer equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar or molasses for a minute, until syrupy.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs in Mie Goreng?

Yes, with care. Breasts dry out sooner: pull them at 165 F, which usually means a few minutes less than the thighs would take. As written, the entry for Mie Goreng uses 8 oz boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced.

Can I make Mie Goreng gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Mie Goreng is 8 oz yellow egg noodles, boiled, 1 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.

Does Mie Goreng contain soy?

Yes: 3 tbsp kecap manis and 1 tbsp soy sauce. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, eggs and soy. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
