Brilio.net - Sources of carbohydrates can be found in various types of food. In addition to rice and potatoes, rice vermicelli can also be an alternative choice that is filling. This is because rice vermicelli is made from ingredients such as rice, corn, and mung bean starch.
Vermicelli is usually sold in dry form on the market. Before cooking, vermicelli must be processed first so that the texture is soft and easy to cook. Many people choose to boil vermicelli for a few minutes to save time. After boiling, the vermicelli becomes soft and ready to be processed further.
However, boiling vermicelli sometimes makes the texture too soft if boiled for too long. This can cause the vermicelli to clump and stick together when cooked. When the vermicelli clumps, the seasoning is difficult to absorb perfectly, so the taste is not optimal.
To solve this problem, you can try the trick shared by netizen Vindri Yanti Citra when cooking fried vermicelli. In one of her videos, she shares a recipe and how to make delicious fried vermicelli that doesn't clump and doesn't stick to the pan. Curious about how?
As reported by BrilioFood from Vindri Yanti Citra on Tuesday (17/9), soak the vermicelli in a container filled with hot water. It doesn't need to be too long, just drain it.
Next, pour enough cooking oil into the pan. Shake the pan so that the cooking oil can wet the entire surface. Then saute the sliced garlic until fragrant and brown.

Once the garlic is cooked, add the beaten eggs to the pan. Stir until the eggs are half cooked.

The next process, add the soaked vermicelli. Set the stove to medium heat, then stir until all ingredients are perfectly mixed.
"If the heat is too hot, the vermicelli will stick to the bottom of the pan," he explained further.

Well, after the stove fire is raised, the vermicelli should not be cooked for too long. Because if it is overcooked, the texture of the vermicelli will be damaged.
"Lift it immediately so the vermicelli doesn't become soft and fall apart," he said.
