Indomie Mi Goreng is the most beloved instant noodle product in the world by some measures — it has a fanatically devoted following in Australia (where it became a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s), Indonesia (where it is essentially a national food), and increasingly in the US, UK, and Middle East. The product format is distinct from most instant ramen: Mi Goreng is a dry noodle dish, not a soup — the noodles are boiled and then tossed with five separate condiment sachets (sweet soy sauce, spicy seasoning, solid seasoning, oil, and sweet chili) that combine into a savory-sweet-slightly-spicy sauce of surprising complexity. Blind tasting score: 8.2 out of 10. The kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) as the base flavor — deeply sweet, with molasses undertones — is a flavor profile completely absent from Japanese or Korean ramen. The Original flavor (green packaging) is the classic; the Special Chicken and Rendang varieties extend the range.
