Cooking with Foodee: Mee Goreng!

Hi guys! I'm so excited to tell you all about Foodee, because, drum roll please ..... I made Mee Goreng! And it was a roaring success! Foodee was created by Jenn, Miss Foodee, a home cook who aims to simplify the grocery shopping and dinner cooking experience and take the stress out of the age old question 'what's for dinner?'. Foodee is an Adelaide-based meal kit experience at grocery store prices. You simply choose which meals you want to cook, and Foodee packs all the necessary ingredients and delivers them to your door! I'm thrilled to have collaborated with Foodee* and think it's a fabulous service.

Currently there are six meals to choose from:
~ Beef Pho
~ Curry Laksa
~ Satay
~ Rendang
~ Mee Goreng
~ Asam Laksa

More recipes will be added in the coming weeks too! So whether you are an experienced cook or a novice like me, there are choices to suit your tastes and skill level. I chose Mee Goreng because it looked super-straightforward, enabling me the best chance to obtain a nice photo for my foodie Instagram account and a delicious dinner, haha. Win win!

Delivery is available to the the Adelaide metro area and it's free on orders over $30. As long as you order by 11:59pm on Wednesdays, your delivery will come the following weekend. You can even add in pantry items and fresh vegetables as optional extras. Think anything from garlic, bok choy and kaffir lime leaves to red onions, fresh eggs and oyster sauce. I added in a generous jar of fried shallots and they really elevated my dish with a crunchy flavourful texture. And now I have the remainder to add to other Asian dishes I make, which is great because fried shallots are something I would never usually buy!

My Foodee experience was easy and fun! Included in the box is a recipe card for your chosen meal, with clear instructions. Up the top is the ingredients, then it says the amount of people the dish serves and the cooking time. I love a set of simple directions, and when there's only seven things to do, I'm like "YES, I can do this!". The only preparation for Mee Goreng was chopping the chicken, cutting the bok choy and chilis up (an optional extra I added) and cutting some lime wedges for garnishing. Then it was just simply a matter of frying the chicken until it was brown, adding the bok choy, the Mee Goreng sauce and the Singapore noodles. Check out my photos below for the cooking process.

The only thing not included in the pack was the eggs, but I had eggs in the fridge, as most people do, so I fried a couple to add to the top of the dish. I did have to Google 'which part of the bok choy do you eat' (lol) and apparently it's all of it, so I chopped up and added the whole thing. All of the ingredients provided were super fresh and great quality! The sauce was Ayam brand and the chicken was Lilydale. As an added bonus, the instructions said to use only half the chicken thighs, so I had leftover chicken which I used for dinner the following night!

Overall, I am really impressed with this Foodee box and my experience, and would highly recommend it if you're in Adelaide! The customer service was friendly and professional and Jenn was a delight from start to finish. Please check them out on their website and give them a follow on Instagram as well!
