Mie Bangladesh or Bangladeshi noodles (Indonesian: mi meaning "noodle"[1]), also called nyemek noodles[2] is a dish of Indonesian cuisine. It is a variation on mi goreng and originated in the Indonesian city of Lhokseumawe.

Ingredients, preparation, and serving

[edit]

The dish is typically created using packaged commercial instant noodles such as Indomie stir-fried in a sauce of herbs and spices,[3] using a bumbu spice mix such as medok, along with the commercial seasoning packet typically included with the noodles.[4][5][6][7] The additional spices thicken the sauce and give the dish a richer color and flavor than a typical bowl of instant noodles or ramen.[8]

It is served nyemek, or slightly soupy, and is sometimes served with other ingredients such a half-cooked egg, which gives the dish a creamy texture and flavor, and fried onions or mustard greens.[3][2][8][6]

It is often served at warkop (a portmanteau of Warung Kopi, meaning "coffee stall"), a food served in roadside stalls.[citation needed]

Origin and popularity

[edit]

While the name is sometimes taken to mean it is a dish of or inspired by Bangladeshi cuisine, it originated in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia.[2][3][9] There are anecdotal explanations of the etymology of the name.[3]

The dish became well known in the 2020s after Indonesian food critics on Instagram and TikTok posted about it.[9][5][8]
