About bakmi

Indonesian pasta dish

Bakmi or bami are a type of wheat-based noodles derived from Chinese cooking tradition. They were brought to Indonesia by Chinese immigrants from southern Chinese provinces like Fujian. They are typically seasoned with soy sauce and topped with pork products, which are substituted for other protein sources in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. Chinese-style wheat noodles have become one of the most common noodle dishes in Southeast Asian countries, which have significant Chinese populations.
