how do i cook just plain vermicelli noodles?

Answer 1

Vermicelli = rice Vermicelli (mai fun) or you mean the one made by mung bean (bean threads)? The recipes here could be applied on any kind of noodles.

I like to have it simple, cook it in soup + meatballs or stir-fried!

<<<<<<< Meatball Vermicelli >>>>>>> (Serves 2)

Ingredients:
150g dry rice noodle (vermicelli)
12 meatballs (frozen Chinese beef / fish meatballs)

green onions (finely chopped)
1/2 onion (sliced)
50g soy bean sprouts
sesame oil (a few drops)

Directions:
1) Cook / boil the dry vermicelli in hot water till soft (like preparing spaghette). Drain, set aside.
2) Heat a cooking pot with medium heat, add oil and stir fry the onion for 2 minutes, pour in beef stock, bring to boil.
3) Add meatball (defrosted) into the beef stock, boil for 2 minutes, return the vermicelli into the pot, add bean sprouts and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
4) Place the corriandor, green onion, a few drops of sesame oil in the base of a large soup tureen and pour over the vermicelli, meatballs and soup. Serve immediately.
