Indian Mee Goreng

Oh! yes...this is my favourite mee goreng. When I was young & living in Penang, I used to buy the fritter where it was slit in the centre and stuff with shreded sengkuang, cucumber and blanched taugeh. Finally some sauce will be poured into the fritter. We used to called it "tikus" as it was shaped like a little rat.
Thanks to Winnie for making us the homemade noodles.
