Mie Godog

Delicious and Humble.
That's how I describe this kind of dish.

One night, a couple of days ago, just before went to bed... all of sudden I felt hungry, very hungry. It was 10 pm! I sat down in our dining table while drinking a cup of milk (it's enough to kick away my hunger) and opened one of my recipe books. Then I was drooling after seeing a picture of 'mie godog' in one page. I went to my bedroom, showed the picture to my husband and said 'this is the one that I'll cook tomorrow'.

The next morning, I found all I need in the market... and tarrraaa.... I had a delicious lunch! Simple ingredients, easy to make, delicious result, and I was full of happiness.

This noodle dish is popular in Java as Mie Godog Jawa or Mie Kuah Jawa. Both refer to this boiled noodle type of dish. There is no fancy ingredients, but with simple combination method, stiring and boiling, this fast healthy food can be served in your home.
