Mi rebus

Mi Rebus is a popular noodle dish originating from Malaysia and Indonesia. The name "Mi Rebus" translates to "boiled noodles" in English, reflecting the method of preparation for this dish.

Ingredients and Preparation

Mi Rebus is typically made with yellow noodles, which are boiled until they are soft. The noodles are then served with a thick, spicy gravy made from shrimp or fish stock, and various spices such as chili, garlic, lemongrass, and ginger. The gravy is usually thickened with sweet potato or peanut paste.

The dish is often garnished with a variety of ingredients, including hard-boiled eggs, green onions, fried shallots, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and chili peppers. Some variations of Mi Rebus may also include meat, such as chicken, beef, or seafood.

Variations

There are several regional variations of Mi Rebus in Malaysia and Indonesia. In Penang, a version known as Hokkien Mee is popular, which includes pork and a darker, richer gravy. In Johor, the dish is often served with a side of sambal, a spicy chili paste.

In Indonesia, Mi Rebus is often served as a breakfast dish. The Indonesian version typically includes tempeh, tofu, and soy sauce in addition to the standard ingredients.

Cultural Significance

Mi Rebus is a staple dish in both Malaysia and Indonesia, and is often served at street food stalls and hawker centres. It is also a popular choice for breakfast and lunch, and is often enjoyed with a cup of kopi, a traditional coffee drink.
