Welcome to another exciting culinary adventure with Love with Recipes! Today, we’re diving into a delectable Indonesian-inspired dish, “Mie Rebus Telur Pedes,” which translates to Spicy Egg Noodles. This dish harmoniously blends the rich flavors of spices with the comforting essence of noodles and eggs, creating a bowl of warmth that’s both satisfying and full of character.
Ingredients:
- 3 packs of Mie Cap Tiga Telur (three-egg noodles)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 stalk of green onion (daun bawang)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 shallots
- 1/4 teaspoon of finely ground red pepper (lada merah halus)
- 1 ripe tomato
- 5 red chili peppers (cabe keriting)
- A handful of watercress (selada air)
- Cooking oil (enough for sautéing)
- Salt (to taste)
Steps:
-
Preparation of Aromatics and Spices: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the shallots, garlic, and other spices. Once clean, finely chop the shallots and garlic. Using a mortar and pestle, or a food processor if you have one, grind these aromatics into a smooth paste.
-
Sautéing: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous splash of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the aromatic paste. Sauté the mixture, stirring frequently, until it releases a delightful, fragrant aroma and turns golden brown. This step is crucial as it builds the foundation of flavor for your dish.
-
Preparing the Broth: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the finely ground red pepper. Let it simmer for a few minutes to infuse the water with spice. Afterward, remove the pot from heat and set it aside.
-
Cooking the Noodles: Bring another pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. It’s important to cook the noodles separately and then drain them to ensure a healthier dish and avoid excess starch in your final preparation.
-
Combining Ingredients: After draining the noodles, combine them with the sautéed spice mixture from step 2. Stir well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the aromatic blend.
-
Adding the Eggs: Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl. Pour the beaten eggs over the noodle mixture and stir gently to incorporate them. Allow the eggs to cook through and blend with the noodles.
-
Preparing the Garnishes: While the noodles are cooking, slice the tomato according to your preference. Prepare the watercress by washing it thoroughly. These fresh ingredients will add a crisp and vibrant contrast to the rich noodles.
-
Serving: Serve the spicy egg noodles hot, garnished with slices of tomato and a handful of watercress for a refreshing touch. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste, if needed.
