Mie kangkung (lit.'kangkung noodle'), is an Indonesian vegetable noodle soup with kangkung (water spinach), usually served with bakso meatball and mushroom. It is a specialty of Betawi cuisine, Jakarta, Indonesia. The yellow egg noodles come with a brown-colored thick soup, made of chicken or beef broth, which is thickened with tapioca, spiced, and mixed with garlic and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). Other ingredients include bakso meatballs, bean sprouts, mushrooms, hard-boiled quail eggs and sprinkled with bawang goreng (fried shallots) and added with a dash of kaffir lime juice and sambal.[1]
