In Indonesia, where mi goreng is one of the most widespread simple dishes, the dish's origin is associated with Chinese Indonesian cuisine. Chinese influences are evident in Indonesian food such as bakmi, mi ayam, pangsit, bakso, lumpia, kwetiau goreng, and mi goreng.{{cite book | title = A New Approach to Indonesian Cooking | author = Heinz Von Holzen | publisher = Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd | year = 2014 | isbn = 9789814634953 | page = 15 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=pRuiBQAAQBAJ&dq=Kwetiau+Goreng&pg=PA15}} The dish is derived from Chinese chow mein and is believed to have been introduced by Chinese immigrants in Indonesia. Despite being influenced by Chinese cuisine, mi goreng in Indonesia has a definite Indonesian taste and has been heavily integrated into Indonesian cuisine,{{Cite web|url=https://migrationology.com/indonesian-food/|title=Indonesian Food: 50 of the Best Dishes You Should Eat|date=2016-05-22|website=Migrationology|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}} through, for example, the application of sweet soy sauce that adds mild sweetness,{{cite web | title=Mie goreng | author=Janelle Bloom | date=August 2001 | url=https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/mie-goreng/15f38b4b-bb2c-44cf-b71d-373871470de9 | publisher=Taste.com.au Australian Good Taste}} a sprinkle of fried shallots, and spicy sambal. Pork and lard are eschewed in favour of shrimp, chicken, or beef to cater to the Muslim majority.

Mi goreng is traditionally made with yellow wheat noodles, stir-fried with chopped shallots, onion, and garlic with soy sauce seasoning, egg, vegetables, chicken, meat, or seafood. However, other versions might use dried instant noodles instead of fresh yellow wheat noodles. A common practice in Indonesia is the inclusion of powdered instant noodle seasonings, along with eggs and vegetables.{{cite web | title = Indonesian Fried Noodles (Mie Goreng) | date = 9 August 2010 | work = Rasa Malaysia | url = http://rasamalaysia.com/mie-goreng-indonesian-fried-noodles/}}

The almost identical recipe is often used to create other dishes. For example, bihun goreng is made by replacing yellow wheat noodles with bihun (rice vermicelli), while kwetiau goreng uses kwetiau (thick flat rice noodles) instead.
