I have been wanting to try this dish , fried vermicelli , .... but was afraid that it might turn out soggy coz vermicelli is difficult to fry. It cooks fast and overcooking it will become soggy . But tonite, I took up the challenge and tried it out and surprisingly it turned out fantabulous and yummlicious. (",) The texture is like rice vermicelli ( meehoon ). Not soggy at all!!! The next time I fry this dish, I must reduce the oil. It is a bit oily though.

Hi Fionn :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I took so long to reply coz this post was posted quite some time adi. Din not check my old post till now :)
Sure no prob. First you have to put the strand of vermicilli into hot boiling water and take it out as soon as it loosen up but not cooked. Runs cold water over the vermicelli and leave it aside.
Meanwhile, fry all your meat & veg ingredients till cooked with a bit of gravy with salt to taste. Then put in the vermicelli into the cooked ingredients and mixed well. STir fry a short while. Dish up as soon as the vermicelli is cooked but not soggy.
If you still have problem, let me know in my lastest post coz I normally dun check old post for comment. ", Haha hope it works for you.
