What is the literal translation of "mie goreng" a popular dish from Indonesia?
Mie goreng (Indonesian: "mie goreng" or "mi goreng"; meaning "fried noodles"), also known as bakmi goreng, is an Indonesian style of stir-fried noodle dish. It is made with thin yellow noodles stir fried in cooking oil with garlic, onion or shallots, fried prawn, chicken, beef, or sliced bakso (meatballs), chili, Chinese cabbage, cabbages, tomatoes, egg, and other vegetables. Ubiquitous in Indonesia, it is sold by food vendors from street-hawkers, warungs, to high-end restaurants.
In Indonesia, where mie goreng is one of the most widespread simple dishes, the dish's origin is clearly associated with Chinese Indonesian cuisine. Chinese influences are evident in Indonesian food such as "bakmi", "mie ayam", "pangsit", "bakso", "lumpia", "kwetiau goreng", and "mie goreng". The dish is derived from Chinese chow mein and believed to have been introduced by Chinese immigrants in Indonesia.
