Lethekku Goreng Spesial
"Mie lethek is thin noodles with a brown color originally from Java, Indonesia that are usually made in a traditional way using cassava flour as the main ingredient. At first glance, "mie lethek" looks similar to rice vermicelli. However, "mie lethek" is thicker and has a chewier texture compared to noodles made from wheat."
Hello, BestNic, good evening as we approach the time to break the fast! For BestNic who are fasting, how's your worship going? I hope it's going smoothly. Just let the traffic with your loved one be jammed, not your fasting. Hehhehe #ventinginstead
Oh, how's your nutrient intake and nutrition during the fasting month? Don't forget to always pay attention, BestNic. Because as far as I know, during this fasting month, our food menus tend to be more elaborate than usual. Starting from appetizers, main courses, condiments, to desserts and drinks, everything is carefully prepared. But unfortunately, a complete menu doesn't necessarily mean complete nutrition. That's why all #BestNic needs to pay attention to your sugar levels and food proportions. Also, be careful not to consume too much salt, or you'll end up like you and me, SALTY. 😆
And for those craving savory and salty foods but afraid of feeling guilty, come here!
I have a healthy fried noodle hack recipe and it's super easy to make. This recipe is gluten-free, low in sugar, and also MSG-free. What makes it even more special is that I make the chili sauce homemade! (for those who want the recipe, click here)
SPECIAL FRIED LETHEK
Oh, do you all know what "mie lethek" is?
Let me explain a bit. "mie lethek" is thin noodles with a brown color originally from Java, Indonesia that are usually made in a traditional way using cassava flour as the main ingredient. At first glance, "mie lethek" looks similar to rice vermicelli. However, "mie lethek" is thicker and has a chewier texture compared to noodles made from wheat.
Look at the color, it's naturally brown because it doesn't use whitening agents, coloring, or preservatives. According to me, this color really stimulates the appetite! See, your stomach is rumbling now, isn't it? Hehhee 😆
Oops, sorry for making you crave while fasting. I'm making you drool at this critical time in the evening. It's better if you try making it right away, #BestNic!
