Murtabak is quite a popular street food in both Singapore as well as Malaysia. Even though a variety of murtabak are popping up nowadays, including a sweet version, the original murtabak is made savoury with a dough filled with minced meat and eggs, fried to a golden exterior.
This murtabak maggi uses the same filling sans the dough. I have to say this is an interesting take and a good way to be creative with your old instant noodles.
You can omit the meat and make a vegetarian version based on your preference. I would prefer to add some cheese if I was making the vegetarian version of this. Cheese and instant noodles, you know it has to be good.
Give this Murtabak Maggi Recipe a try if you need a snack for teatime or even a quick fix for dinner! Infact, this makes a good lunchbox for the kids as well. Do serve these with a side of chili sauce and even some mayonnaise if you prefer.
