Mee Goreng Mamak is a fragrant Malaysian stir-fried noodle main course with prawns, chicken thighs, shallots, fresh chillies and dark soy sauce.

About this recipe
Mee Goreng Mamak Thermomix TM7 brings the sizzling energy of a Malaysian mamak stall straight into your kitchen. Searching for stir-fried noodle recipes with your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: this recipe layers garlic, shallots and fresh chillies into a punchy paste, then tosses yellow noodles with whole prawns and boneless chicken thighs in a glossy dark soy and chilli sauce coating. The TM7 handles the tedious part of Asian cooking, the fine paste work and the constant stirring that normally demands a hot wok and full attention. The result is noodles with that signature sweet-savoury-spicy balance and slightly caramelised edges, ideal as a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend feast for spice lovers. Because everything happens in one mixing bowl, you skip the mountain of washing-up that usually follows a noodle stir-fry, leaving more time to garnish with crispy shallots and lime.
Preparation tips
- Soak the yellow noodles in warm water before adding them to the mixing bowl so they separate easily and absorb the dark soy and chilli sauce evenly without clumping together during stirring.
- Cut the boneless chicken thighs into even, bite-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate as the prawns; uneven chunks leave some rubbery prawns while other pieces stay raw inside.
- For a milder family version, remove the seeds from the fresh chillies before chopping, and serve extra chilli sauce on the side so everyone can adjust the heat of their Mee Goreng individually.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian Mee Goreng: replace the whole prawns and chicken thighs with firm tofu cubes and oyster mushrooms, keep the dark soy sauce and add a squeeze of lime for a plant-based noodle feast with the same signature sauce.
- Seafood festivity variation: swap the chicken for squid rings and mussels, toss in bean sprouts and Chinese chives, and finish with crispy fried shallots for a celebratory mamak-style spread.
