Key risk: Mamak mee goreng layers allergens that are hard to separate because everything is wok-fried together. The yellow noodles are wheat-based and often contain egg. Kecap manis adds both soy and wheat. Tofu adds soy. An egg is cracked in during cooking. All of this together makes this dish inappropriate for gluten, egg, or soy-allergic individuals.
