Wok-tossed hakka noodles with chicken & lap cheong

While checking out Block M, a bar district in Jakarta, I asked the younger locals where they went for street food. I was surprised when they directed me to the very centre of Block M where there’s a newish food precinct called Food Fighters. This place is a slice of modern Jakarta so it’s interesting to see, on that level alone. You can get everything here from lattes to Mexican food, to charcoal bun burgers to waffles, but I was recommended the noodles at Mie Chino. A young guy runs this place and he has just four dishes on his menu. Of these I thought the stir-fried Hakka noodles with chicken and lap cheong were pretty special. They’re also easy to make and I can’t recommend enough that you add them to your ‘I need to cook dinner in a great hurry’ repertoire. They only require simple ingredients and literally 3 minutes of cooking time, and you’re there. Too easy.
