Shrimp Noodles (Mee Bandung)
These noodles are easy to like, with plenty of soup to go around. Rather than being tangy, a taste commonly associated with most tomato-based dishes, Mee Bandung is sweet and savory with just a little heat to it. A splash of lime juice is the final touch to a full-bodied flavor.

Shrimp Noodles (Mee Bandung)

All you really need is beef broth, a bottle of ketchup and Sriracha sauce, sugar, salt, eggs and shrimp to build the base flavor to which you can add your meats, greens and noodles into. The shrimp is crucial to flavor the broth and eggs are used to thicken it. For quick and easy noodles for dinner, this recipe is worth trying.

    This was very tasty! I like the gravy very much, but I think I had eggs that were too large. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

      You’re most welcome! Also as a note, if you find there’s too much of one ingredient, try adding more stock, a little more of this and a little more of that. Experiment and be a mad scientist in the kitchen!
