Indonesian - Bami Goreng
Bami Goreng is a traditional Indonesia “noodle” dish that is prepared in one large pan (or wok) that has nice Asian flavors with some mild heat. Despite the long list of ingredients, it is very easy to prepare.
There are variations with added shrimp or using pork, vegetarian style, using egg (omelet), or instead of noodles, adding fried rice that is referred to as Nasi Goreng.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
For the "ketjap sambal":
Heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the jalapeno and sauté until slightly softened (but not browned), 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and ginger and stir. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, five-spice powder and 1/4 cup water.
* Step 2
Bring mixture to a slight bubble, reduce heat slightly, and cook until the sauce reduces. It will eventually coat the back of a spoon in about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
* Step 3
For the "bami goreng":
Heat some oil in a wok (or large sauté pan) over high heat. Add the red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add the onion and cook until translucent. Remove from pan to a bowl.
* Step 4
Add the lightly floured / seasoned chicken strips to the pan with added oil; cook until browned on “both” sides, 3-4 minutes total. Add in the sauté pepper and onion, the garlic and ginger, and stir.
* Step 5
Add the cabbage, stir in the Sriracha sauce, and then deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted and very small, and water is evaporated.
* Step 6
Add in the "cooked" pasta with a tablespoon of the starchy pasta water, along with half of the "ketjap sambal" and mix a few times.
* Step 7
Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining ketjap. Add lime juice, garnish with cilantro, and enjoy.
