The dish is known for its unique combination of ingredients, including beef, bean sprouts, and kikil (beef tendon), served in a rich beef broth. The name "Mie Kocok" translates to "shaken noodles" in English, referring to the method of preparation where the noodles are shaken in boiling water before being served.

The broth is made from beef bones and spices such as garlic, pepper, and salt. Some variations of the dish may also include other ingredients like meatballs or tofu.

The preparation of Mie Kocok involves boiling the noodles until they are cooked, then shaking them in a strainer to remove excess water.
