Mee Goreng

I like Mee Goreng, it is the only yellow noodle I do not mind eating.  The stall near my house is ridiculously expensive.  Without any meat, it was already S$6 before covid time.  

Sudden craving for Mee Goreng so I decided to whip up some to satisfy myself.

I have added prawns in, if not this dish is considered economical.  These days, our food prices are going up so much that I am wondering how some can survive.

Learning: This recipe good enough to satisfy the craving and definitely better than the mamak stall near my house. 😋😋
