Mie kangkung

Mie kangkung, literally kangkung noodle, is an Indonesian vegetable noodle soup built around kangkung, or water spinach, and usually served with bakso meatballs and mushrooms. It is a specialty of Betawi cuisine in Jakarta. Yellow egg noodles come in a brown, thick soup made from chicken or beef broth that is thickened with tapioca, spiced, and mixed with garlic and kecap manis, the sweet soy sauce. Other ingredients include bakso meatballs, bean sprouts, mushrooms and hard-boiled quail eggs. The bowl is topped with fried shallots, called bawang goreng, and finished with a dash of kaffir lime juice and sambal. It is related to other Indonesian noodle dishes such as mie ayam, mie celor, mie kocok and mi rebus.
