Mie gomak is a Batak thick spicy noodle soup dish served in a coconut milk and andaliman-based broth, that is a specialty of Toba Batak region of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Other than traditional Batak lands surrounding Lake Toba, this dish is also a specialty of the Sibolga and Tapanuli area. Unlike common Indonesian noodles, the type of noodle used in this dish is a thick one called mie lidi, similar to spaghetti pasta, and thus mie gomak is often described as Batak-style spaghetti. Mie gomak is similar to mie Aceh from a neighbouring province.
