Come to Singapore they have potatoes and mutton.

@Xeexist ....and great Mee Goreng done in a multitude of styles!

[ascap23]

since when we use potato?

[SpicySteveSorko]

@ascap23 The Mee Goreng in this video is Malaysian and Singaporean Indian Mamak Style. They have been using boiled potato in this version for at least the 3 decades that I have been travelling to these two countries. If you cross reference most authentic recipes including those of the official tourist boards, or you've eaten in the various Hawker Food Centres and watched as it was made, boiled potato added to the wok is one of the ingredients. This is not Indonesia Mee Goreng.

@ascap23 YES POTATOES. I just checked various sources as we have been making it this way for over two decades. Indian Mee Goreng most definitely CAN have but not every recipe includes diced boiled potatoes that are stir fried into it. Sometimes they can have prawn fritters or other ingredients substituted in. I have tons of recipe sources published in Malaysia and Singapore with potatoes including a Official Hawker Recipe Booklet published by the Penang State Govt. in the 1990's.

@ascap23 I have also eaten Mee Goreng all over Malaysia and Singapore and I have watched and studied individual Hawkers in my culinary quests. That being said, you may have not noticed the potatoes if only a small amount were blended in or if you are from KL maybe the regional/ethnic version is different there versus Penang and Singapore. We are talking about Indian Mee Goreng and NOT Malay Mee Goreng. Even among the Indians there are differences, ie: Mamak Muslim style vs Hindu Vegetarian.

@RAYJAGAN

This is a common Singaporean and Malaysian Indian style dish enjoyed by the multicultural population of both countries. Yes many Indians do not eat beef if they are Hindu but Muslims do eat beef.

[RAYJAGAN]

Most Indians do not eat beef..

Potatoes or no potatoes, beef or no beef, it doesn't matter. It's still a pretty good looking and tasty dish. Thank you Steve for the video.

@SpicySteveSorko WOW I've NEVER HAD POTATOES in my Mee Goreng in my life EVER. From KL btw. :) Not even sure if they use mutton, I am pretty sure it was always chicken +.+
