What is a tasty and simple recipe using "Rice Vermicelli"?

Question

I first tried this really, thin type of noodle at a sushi place - they used it as a part of a salad, with a vinegar dressing & it was pretty good. Does anyone know of any fairly simple & tasty recipes that features this ingredient? We bought some a long time ago intending to use it, and it's been sitting in our cupboard ever since...I want to use it up!

Answer 1

1/2 lb vermicelli (angel hair nests). Vermicelli usually comes in 1 lb packages, so about 1/2 a package.
1/2 cup olive or grape seed oil
1/2 yellow onion, minced
2 fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper
In a 9-inch frying pan (with lid), fry the vermicelli on both sides in hot oil until golden brown in color. Remove from pan.
In the same oil, brown the minced onion, add the chopped tomato. Add chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When broth is boiling, add vermicelli and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook until the vermicelli has soaked up the liquid, about 30 minutes.

Answer 2

A classmates wife taught me this recipe. She kept emphasising that I could add whatever I liked.... shrimp, pork, garlic, onions, etc.

This is the basic recipe she started me out with for Pancit.

Pancit

Vermicelli (soaked until soft using warm water)
Chicken (cut into matchstick strips)
Nappa Cabbage (about 1/2 cups, cut into thin shreds)
Chicken Broth (1 can)
Green Onion (Chopped for garnish)

lightly sautee the chicken until cooked.
Add the noodles and cabbage
Add broth a little at a time till the noodles soak up the broth
Garnish with green onions

Total cooking time was about 15 minutes.

Answer 3

well, there are a lot of recipe's you can use....instead, I'll give you some options...that way it's still your idea
there are two ways to eat these noodles....warm or cold
either way you have to cook them, for like five minutes....maybe less depending on how good your stove and pot are, and if you use soft water as well, sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes, and sometimes it can take 2 minutes.....but it's easy to tell when they are overdone....they will finally look bigger...you don't want that

now, a really good way to eat it cooked, you should have guess, STIR-FRY! and I mean, it's stir fry, whatever you like, chicken, beef, shrimp....those are just the 3 most popular choices, than your choice of veggies, make sure they are all sliced thin, that way the meal take like a minute to fry up
add your pre-cooked noods (<---sorry, I like calling noodles noods, deal with it), and a sauce of some sort, which is easy to select, just look in the grocery store, they usually have five to ten to choose from.

another way is cold, like that salad you guys had....I mean it's salad, so simple, like lettuce and veggies, not too many veggies, and nothing like cucumbers or tomatoes, nothing too juicy, and an oriental dressing.

another great way is in a wrap, this way you can decide for yourself whether the noods are cold or warm (not hot) and just put some lettuce, a type of meat substance, maybe some saute'd pepper and onions, your noods and some sort of sauce.

so as you can see, I might have been too plentyful with my suggestions, now you might not know what to decide.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMDFB

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
