Notes
Begin to soak rice vermicelli in water (cold or warm) before you start to prepare the other ingredients and you will be ready to fry the noodles when the other preparation is done.
Do not soak and cook rice vermicelli for too long. Also, do not add too much liquid. Otherwise the rice vermicelli will turn too soft and will break and be soggy.
Any other kinds of meat and vegetables can be used to fry the rice vermicelli.
Never stir fry the rice vermicelli together with the vegetables or meat or the noodles will stick to the wok or skillet.
Reduce the amount of salt and light soy sauce if serving the rice vermicelli with curry dish.
If frying a huge quantity of rice vermicelli, fry in batches to ensure even mixing and flavour.
