Got Omicron? Make Mi Goreng Bread!

So it’s been a rough past few days. Sore throats, barfing, runny noses, extremely horrid body aches. My friends, we got the Omicron. Yeah – the whole house. We’ve all been vaccinated too and regularly wear masks. This is no fun. But to break the insanity of it all and drudgery of existence with a 24/7 funky cloud hanging over my brain, we made some bread. It was fun – good bread too! Used Best Wok Mi Goreng, which was voted the best mi goreng instant in Indonesia by a well known critic over there. That’s pretty good – some stiff competition for mi goreng especially in Indonesia! Well, Here we go – let’s do the bread thing.

Here’s a video of making bread. Wish it could have been better but hey – I’m sick.

Finished (click to enlarge). Garnished with fried egg, coriander and Huy Fong sriracha sauce. Yeah the beef really gave it a lot of niceness and the flavor imparted by the Best Wok seasonings were center stage. Noodles in there gave it a nice cake like moistness. Of course, you can’t have mi goreng without a fried egg – I mean, you can, but don’t do that to yourself!
