Yesterday, Satay owners Peter Ringold and Patrick McCredie spoke of the hunt for foreign ingredients. Today, the young owners share Satay’s recipe for mee goreng, a Malaysian fried noodle dish served at their restaurant. “People come to this restaurant because [the food here are] difficult foods to prep at home. In many South East Asian places, people specialize in these [dishes]. It’s a labor of love,” explained McCredie. To achieve the same mastery of their dishes, McCredie and Ringold made the same recipe over and over again for the first six to eight months. But, they say that the mee goreng is more accessible. “If you go to an Asian grocery store, you can pick up all of the ingredients,” said Ringold. “This is something that is easier to make at home.” So why not try?
