  • Add the chicken and noodles and toss for 1-2 minutes or until combined.
  • Add the sauce and toss until everything is heated and eavenly coated.

Serve:

  • Turn off the heat.

  • Tastes great with: Atjar Tjampoer & Kroepoek

Tips:

  • The reason we turn off the heat before adding the Sesame oil, is that it has a low smoke point, which means it burns easily, which will make it lose its nutty flavor. So make sure the heat is turned all the way off before adding it!
  • You can store the bami in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
