Medan Tomato Noodles (Mie Tomat Medan) | Saucy Street-Style in Shanghai

DESCRIPTION 🍅🍜 (TIMESTAMPS AVAILABLE BELOW) & (hit the SUBSCRIBE button for MORE to COME!!!)

This video shows how I make Medan-style tomato noodles (mie tomat Medan) — saucy (becek), savory, and cooked street-food style ✨
Simple ingredients, no egg, and definitely not dry.

I’m an Indonesian student studying in Shanghai 🇨🇳, and cooking Indonesian food here is my way of staying connected to home 🤍
Making familiar dishes in a different city feels comforting, especially when you’re far away.

Video ini adalah mie tomat Medan versi aku — becek, gurih, dan sederhana 🍅
Masak makanan Indonesia di Shanghai itu pelan-pelan jadi bagian dari ceritaku di sini.

这个视频是我做的棉兰番茄面版本——偏湿、多汁、咸香又简单 🍅
在上海做印尼料理，慢慢地也成了我在这里生活故事的一部分。
