(upbeat music plays)
- Oh, yeah.
(sigh in satisfaction)
(sighs in satisfaction) (bell dings)
- [Tanika] Yum. - [Ryan] Guys, help me.
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
(upbeat music)
Hey, I'm Ryan.
I'm a taste reproducer
- Hi I'm Ismat.Am a food creative based in Sydney.
- My name's Tanika. I'm a recipe developer and food blogger.
We are going to be leveling up.
Whatever is under this big red box here.
- I'm feeling a bit nervous
but we're going to make it work regardless.
- Drum roll. - Okay.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, Mi Goreng.
- Oh. - What?
- I love me some Mi Goreng.
This stuff is what childhood dreams are made out of.
(Tanika inhales shockingly)
Who hasn't done a little Mi Goreng once in their life?
- I hate to say it.
I've never actually eaten these.
I know it is a crime against humanity.
I feel really behind in life.
- We're not gonna bring you one,
we're not even gonna bring you two.
We're going to bring you nine delicious dishes
that you can make at home.
- I've never even cooked these so wish me luck.
- Let's go. Let's level this up. Shall we?
We're going to start off with avocado
on Mi Goreng noodle toast. ♪ Level up ♪
What you have to do first is cook a pack of Mi Goreng
for about three minutes, drain it,
and then let it cool for a little bit.
Before we fry it away.
I'm going to get a beautiful ring cutter.
We're going to pop it in some hot oil.
So we're going to take a nice, generous portion of noodles
and pop it in the ring.
Take off the ring, flip this bad boy around.
There we go. You see how that's nice and golden brown.
We want that on all sides,
but we'll place it directly on the plate.
So you want to season it with a little bit
of the seasoning packet, just as your salty element,
scoop out a nice little cheek of the avocado.
Then we're going to take our chili and our soy
and just run them along the surface.
And then my favorite ingredient
for avocado toast is Furikake or rice seasoning
which has seaweed, Sesame seeds.
You sprinkle that generously, a few of those fried onions
cause I like to use up everything in the packet.
But how beautiful is that?
And that is avocado on Mi Goreng noodle toast.
(noodles crunch loudly)
Oh my gosh, the crunch of the Mi Goreng
noodle toast. Yes. (bell dings)
There is beautiful spice from the chili.
The Furikake is like a nice sweetness to it.
I want people to make it.
- My first recipe today is sweet corn
and Mi Goreng fritters.
One packet of Mi Goreng noodles, fully cooked.
One tin of corn.
Four spring onions, finely sliced.
Three eggs. There we go.
1/4 of a cup of plain flour, salt one teaspoon,
black pepper 1/2 teaspoon, one teaspoon baking powder.
Just mix it up, make it all combined and delicious.
Now we are at the most important part,
the Mi Goreng sauces.
I'm just going to whack them in and hope that it works.
Let's try some.
(clears throat loudly)
That's spicy. Shit.
Sorry I swore.
The sauce, the sweet soy, I believe they call it.
Seasoning. In it goes, that looks quite funky.
Now I'm just going to mix it together.
Get yourself a pan, put it on medium heat.
I've got olive oil.
You could use whatever oil you want. I don't care.
Just chuck some in.
There we go. I reckon that's good.
Whack it in the pan.
Put some corn on top.
(utensils clanking) Egg flip. Wish me luck.
(food sizzles) Yes.
Crispy on the underside.
Nice and noodley and corny inside.
Yum. (clock ticks)
Now the sauce.
First up, I'm going to take three tablespoons
of sweet chili, one tablespoon of lime juice,
two teaspoons sesame oil,
1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce.
One teaspoon of minced garlic,
one teaspoon minced ginger.
Frank's hot sauce. This stuff is spicy.
It has a kick and that's what I like.
I'm going for two teaspoons.
Mix this together.
Now we're going to plate up the dish.
So I'm going to put that into my little serving bowl.
Perfect amount. I've got six fritters.
Yum.
Now I'm going to take these spring onions. A good handful.
Last but not least, we have the fried onions
from my Mi Goreng packet. Oh yeah.
And that's how you make my sweet corn
and Mi Goreng fritters. Let's dig in.
Look at that.
Dip that in.
(upbeat music)
They are so delicious.
I feel like I've nailed it.
Would eat again, 10 out of 10.
- For my first dish,
I'm going to make Mi Goreng noodle chicken nuggets.
First up, crush the pack of Mi Goreng noodles.
This is going to be used as the crumb for our chicken.
Simply add one cup of panko bread crumbs.
We're going to season that chicken.
Sprinkle that on the chicken, bang it in there.
Rotate the chicken until it's all fully curated.
A little bit of salt, just a smidge of pepper.
Give it a quick stir.
Chicken, flour, egg, noodle crumbs.
You can get a double coat.
It is going to be a really safe option for you.
Now that that's double coated,
straight into the oil for about two minutes per piece.
(soft whoosh) Wow.
These are like dineary nuggets.
Looking good. I'm impressed.
And last one. (sighs surprisingly)
Oh, Holy shit. Holy shit.
Guys, help me, quick, someone.
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
(paper rips) Okay. Quick. Okay.
Turn it off.
(sighs loudly) (sighing in background)
It's okay. I've got paper towel.
Can you please bring me some class? (chuckles lightly)
So once he cook all your nuggets,
they're going to be perfectly brown and golden like this.
I'm going to serve them with some delicious dipping sauces.
So Stubb's barbecue sauce.
This has to be one of the best barbecue sauces out there.
And then Frank's hot sauce.
I can feel like that's a match made in heaven.
Let's add some chives on, put the salt bay.
(makes noises with his mouth)
And that's been done. Mi Goreng noodle nuggets.
I can not wait to bite into this.
Get it all in there.
(food crunches)
(moans loudly) (low chiming)
Love, love, love. (bell dings)
KFC eat your heart out.
(upbeat music)
- [Ismat] This is a Mi Goreng noodle burger.
We're going to cook our packet of Mi Goreng
and then magically you'll get this.
Heat up a pan.
So we're going to whisk up a bit of the egg.
I'm going to put a bit of egg in the noodles
and then put the rest into the beef patty.
Mix in like half of your egg to one packet
so that they're nice and well coated,
but you don't want it to be sloppy jalopy.
Cause if it's sloppy jalopy, it's just not going to be good.
Some olive oil.
Flop them right in. Just pack it down.
So you've got an even bun.
Flip it over. Whoa, it's a nice golden brown.
So with the beef patty,
I'm just going to add all of the different flavors
that you would normally get in Mi Goreng,
but in that beef.
Get some spring onions, some pepper
and just a little bit of salt.
I mean the soy will already do that for you.
And then we're just going to mix that up.
The egg will be a nice binder and...
Ooh. All the sugars in the meat are really caramelizing.
Now we're going to get to the fun part, assembling it.
So I'm going to put a beautiful piece of cheese on top.
Okay. So I'm going to put some mayo with the chili sauce
from the Mi Goreng and put that directly on top.
Ooh, yeah.
Fry up my egg.
Ooh. Gonna trim this off.
It's going to come off now and go on to...
Oh my God guys, glorious.
Okay. Let me just pop that on top then.
Top on. Now tell me that is not gorgeous.
Here you have the Mi Goreng noodle burger.
From ideation to creation. I'm into it.
Ooh. Look at that egg yolk.
Oh my gosh. Okay.
(chomps loudly)
Oh my goodness.
The bun becomes a sponge of sorts.
Oh, I'm getting some soy, I'm getting some spice.
So if you like Mi Goreng,
if you like burgers, this is for you.
You're going to love it.
- [Tanika] I'm going to be making pumpkin
and sage Mi Goreng noodle cups.
First up, I'm going to take my pumpkin.
Here I've got one and a half cups.
One cup of cheese, 10 Sage leaves finely chopped,
one clove of garlic minced, half a teaspoon of black pepper,
one teaspoon of salt, two eggs.
Mix this together until well combined.
Pre-cooked Mi Goreng noodles, two packets.
Mix this together.
So now I'm going to take portions of my noodle mixture
and add it to the muffin tin.
Take the crispy onions. I've got two packets.
I'm going to sprinkle them all over my noodle cups.
1/2 of a sage leaf on top of each of my noodle cups.
This will go crispy in the oven.
Delicious, woody. There we go.
Now I'm going to bake them in the oven
180 degrees, 20 minutes. (loud ticking)
Oh my goodness.
As you can see, they're holding together so nicely.
You could put them in a lunchbox
so you could eat them for dinner, with a salad.
Now I'm going to make my sauce to drizzle on top.
Squeeze it all in. Two packets in the recipe.
Mix this together.
(licks loudly)
A bit of spice, sweet, salty.
Yum.
Last little bit. Ta-da.
Mi Goreng pumpkin and Sage noodle cups.
All done. (upbeat music)
They are really delicious.
Sort of like pumpkin soup meets a mini quiche.
It's a vibe. I hope you love them.
- [Ryan] Now to make my next recipe.
Mi Goreng noodle curry omelet.
I'm going to start with four eggs.
Cook your pack of Mi Goreng noodles.
We've got the sauces. We've got the seasoning.
We're going to add that all in.
Then just a little cheeky curry powder
because that's going to give this
that fire kick that we need.
Curry powder half a teaspoon and then whisk again.
Next up, we're going to add some noodles in.
One whole pack in.
Two tablespoons spring onions.
Add them in. Then we wait.
(fingers snap)
Okay. I'm just going to test it.
Oh my God. The omelet is stuck in the lid.
That was not meant to happen. There we go.
Three, two, one.
(food sizzles)
Okay. That's looking good.
I think now it's time to plate it up.
Japanese mayo. Bloop.
I'm in love with coriander.
Coriander. It's my herb, vows to be one.
I would be it because a lot of people can't tolerate me.
Some lovely action happening. Sprinkle on some chili.
And lastly, Mi Goreng crispy shallots.
So we're going to sprinkle them on.
This is my Mi Goreng noodle curry omelet.
(upbeat music)
Keen's curry powder coming through.
(loud ding) Give it a try if you get sick
of eating bloody Weet-Bix for breakie.
- [Ismat] I'm going to make a little bit of a desert.
A Mi Goreng rocky road.
So what we're going to do
is we're going to cook our Mi Goreng
by the magic of television.
(laughs lightly)
And now I'm going to dunk them
in some medium to high heat oil.
You want to do it in batches.
You don't want to do too much
or else they'll all stick together.
You see how it's just that nice light, golden color.
That's what I'm looking for.
Like come on. How pretty is that?
Like wall art, anyone?
Now, what we're going to do is,
want to put a bit of the seasoning powder.
I just want to start to break up some of the noodles.
Then this is half cup of coconut.
Put in as much as you want.
Now for the nuts,
we're going to take our little chili packet friend.
Put some peanuts, put dark chocolate on.
This is some milk chocolate.
So I've used 200 grams of each type of chocolate.
Some more coconut on top.
Some more of those noodles.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
And then finally some peanuts.
Okay. Push this together.
Final florae of some noodles
and we are good to pop this.
What looks like a hot mess right now,
but it's going to come out a treat
when we take it out of the fridge.
So keep that in there for about 30 minutes
until it's nice and solid. (loud ding)
This is the final product.
I am going to cut into this rocky road slice.
Like who allowed this?
I did. That's who.
(laughs lightly)
Now, this is beautiful.
(groans in satisfaction)
(upbeat music)
Yum.
It works.
And that is my Mi Goreng noodle rocky road.
Make this at home. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Actually come to think of it.
It tastes like picnic 10 out of 10.
- [Tanika] Now I'm going to make a delicious tomato
and zucchini Mi Goreng noodle pie.
Here I've got three tablespoons of olive oil,
one onion,
one garlic clove diced,
my tomato passata two cups,
one punnet of cherry tomatoes halved,
one teaspoon of salt.
And then we have some pepper,
do what you want with it.
If you hate it, leave it out.
Stir the sauce until it reduces.
Now I'm going to take the packets of seasoning.
In goes the oil. Yeah, there you go.
Throw the seasoning in along with the fried shallots.
Mix that through, going to add in the basil as well.
1/4 of a cup finely chopped, fingers crossed.
(upbeat music)
That actually really works.
Two zucchinis spiralized,
three packets of cooked Mi Goreng noodles.
One cup of ricotta.
(moans loudly)
God, it smells amazing.
Mix it together, in that goes. Smooth out the top.
One cup of mozzarella, half a cup of pecorino.
Disperse that around.
Now into the oven for about 50 minutes at 180 degrees.
So here's my pie fresh from the oven.
Go around the edges.
I hope it's going to stand up.
Oh my gosh. (metal clanking)
Going to take that off and put it back down.
Parsley, finely chopped, one tablespoon.
And that is my Mi Goreng tomato and zucchini pie.
Oh yeah. (soft whistle)
So many layers.
Uh-hum. It's damn delicious. (loud dinging)
This is the like I'm cold, I'm tired, I'm lonely.
I need something to comfort me.
You don't need no, man. You need a pie.
You need a Mi Goreng pie. (loud whoosh)
- [Ryan] Mi Goreng noodle skillet pizza.
Basically, it's your Netflix and chill night sorted.
First up. Cook your Mi Goreng noodles.
Pop them in there. That's going to make your pizza dough.
These noodles are giving me such
like Justin Timberlake and sync vibes.
Like do you remember like
the curly blonde hair that he had?
And next step, I want the pizza to hold together nicely.
I'm going to use two eggs
and this is going to bind it like glue.
Add the barbecue sauce, two tablespoons.
I'm using Stubb's because the flavor obviously so good.
I'm going to spread it over just like mommy used to do.
Mozzarella. I'm using one cup.
And we're going to use Chinese sausage.
I feel like that's just going to work better
with Mi Goreng than pepperoni would
because we're not putting Italian flavors on.
Next ingredient. Shiitake mushrooms. One big one cut up.
And then lastly, spring onion.
We're going to do two tablespoons.
Ready to get fired up and hot in the oven
for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. (loud ticking)
Mi Goreng pizza is out the oven.
So we're going to use the soy
and we're going to use the chili.
Not going to use the oil.
And also those crispy shallots.
Going to do one little garnish of parsley
because of course green makes everything come to life.
This dish is finished.
Did my plan pay off?
I think so.
It's a pizza slice and it's made of noodles.
Justin tastes good. That's my dish.
It's for all these people who like crazy foods.
Try the Mi Goreng noodle pizza.
So that's Mi Goreng upgraded nine ways.
If you want to see us do a different ingredient,
please let us know in the comments below
and we'll be sure to make it happen.
- And more than anything,
buy some Mi Goreng, get in the kitchen and have some fun.
- I think I might just walk away
and talk into this right now.
(upbeat music)
