I keep coming to this Chilli Salmon Mee Goreng whenever I am short on time. Rice noodles fried with an array of aromatic spices and flavoured with soy sauce and ketjap manis, then tossed with lovely vegetables. It’s such an incredible time saver!

Cooking healthy, nutritious dinners for my family is something I am very passionate about. I believe in developing healthy eating habits early on will set my kids up for life.

But what to do when days get a bit too busy for long and involved meal prep? Some days a takeaway seems to be the only solution but I can’t afford it every night when I am too busy to cook, nor do I want to!

So this recipe for Mee Goreng that I am sharing today is my attempt to replace that coveted takeaway. Unlike takeaway though it’s good for you, very quick to make and has all the Asian flavours we crave!

Making the recipe

I’ve been looking for ways to bring more fish into our diet. But the fish I’ve been most successful with is salmon!

It’s meaty and has all the healthy fats our bodies need. And my kids don’t complain as much when they see salmon on their plates. It’s a clear winner.

For this recipe, all I did was to throw vegetables and noodles together with seasoning while the salmon was in the oven and all of sudden I felt like ‘that pressure’ was gone!

The vegetables are stir fried with paste in oil, which gives this dish a great base of flavour. Noodles and sauces are added for a bit more stir frying, and it is pretty much done.

I got dinner on the table in 28 minutes! Then I was able to sit down to this beautiful and delicious homemade Salmon Mee Goreng with my kids and listen to them chattering about school and friends without feeling overwhelmed!

Recipe tips and tricks

  • Pat dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel before cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • This recipe can be made with a wide range of vegetables. Bok choy, sugar snap peas, baby corn and carrots will all work great, so go with whatever is available and in season.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds to complete the look.
