Brilio.net - Vermicelli is a starch and carbohydrate-based food ingredient that is often used as a substitute for rice. Vermicelli processing can produce various filling and delicious dishes. The distinctive taste of vermicelli makes this food popular with many people.
One of the popular vermicelli dishes is fried vermicelli with a savory and sweet taste. The chewy texture of the vermicelli with a long shape provides a pleasant eating sensation. The combination of spices and textures makes the fried vermicelli dish very appetizing.
Making fried vermicelli often experiences obstacles such as broken shapes and soft textures. A common mistake in cooking vermicelli is soaking it in hot water which risks breaking the vermicelli. Watery vermicelli also tends to go stale quickly when served.
The solution to getting perfect fried vermicelli results can be found through TikTok content from the @ve.cooks account. The uploaded video tutorial shows how to make vermicelli with a whole shape. The method shown also helps prevent vermicelli from going stale quickly.
First, prepare the vermicelli to be processed . Instead of soaking in hot water or boiling, the vermicelli is deliberately put into a container filled with cold water.
"Use cool water so the noodles don't break, soak in hot water if you like crushed noodles (use cold water so the vermicelli are whole, soak in hot water if you like crushed vermicelli)," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @ve.cooks on Wednesday (13/11).
