Mie kocok

Mie kocok is a special kind of noodle dish all the way from Indonesia. It's really simple and easy to understand, just like playing with toy cars! First, you take boiled noodles that are made from flour and egg, and put them in a bowl. Then, you make a soup broth by heating water with beef bones and spices like ginger, cloves, and cinnamon. Next, you add this hot soup to the noodles in the bowl.

Now, the fun part comes! You "kocok" or shake the bowl rapidly to mix the soup and noodles together. It's like dancing with a friend to your favorite song! Once everything is well mixed, you can add various toppings like chopped meat, fried onion, boiled egg, and even some vegetables to make it more tasty and nutritious. Finally, you can sprinkle it with some salt, pepper, and lime juice to give it a tangy kick.

All in all, mie kocok is a yummy and healthy meal that makes everyone happy and satisfied, just like playing outside in the sun and feeling the wind in your hair!
