Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Mine frite is Mauritius' stir-fried egg noodle: thin Cantonese noodles tossed over high heat with chicken, sometimes pork, prawn and Chinese sausage, with shredded cabbage, carrot, garlic chives, bean sprouts and strips of omelette, seasoned with soy and oyster sauce. It is sold from street carts and snack bars all over the island and always comes with a sharp garlic and chilli sauce on the side. "Mine" is the Hakka word for noodle; "frite" is French for fried.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 18 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
