Bami Goreng is a typical Indonesian dish and, of course, also incredibly popular in the Netherlands. Almost everyone makes it sometimes and everyone makes Bami Goreng (Goreng literally means fried) in his or her own way. In the Netherlands we often eat it as a main dish, but did you know that Bami Goreng is actually meant to be a side dish? In our recipe we make the Bami Goreng tasty with chicken strips. But you can also use diced fricandeau or ham or make the noodles vegetarian by not adding any meat. You can go either way with this versatile dish!
