Short answer
One bowl of mie ayam (about 525 g) has about 490 kcal and 27 g of protein; 100 g has about 93 kcal. What changes the calories most is the chicken oil and the amount of chicken topping. One bowl with soy-braised chicken, chicken oil, greens and broth was calculated, without meatballs or wontons.
Mie ayam is yellow noodles tossed in chicken oil and soy sauce, topped with diced chicken braised in sweet soy sauce and greens, with clear broth on the side. Mie ayam carts are found in almost every neighbourhood.
Many people add meatballs, boiled or fried wontons and chilli sauce, which can make a bowl much richer than the basic version.
