Cuisine: Bangladeshi
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200g vermicelli noodles
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green chili, chopped
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. You will need 200g of vermicelli noodles, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 sliced onion, 1 chopped green chili, 1 cup of mixed vegetables (such as carrots and peas), 2 beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the vermicelli noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they are tender but still firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to drain completely.
- In a large frying pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
- Add the chopped green chili to the pan and stir for an additional minute to release its flavor.
- Next, add the mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. If you are using frozen vegetables, make sure they are thawed before adding them to the pan.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
- Add the drained vermicelli noodles to the pan. Pour in 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together gently using tongs or a spatula to combine well, ensuring that the noodles are coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables and eggs.
- Continue to stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Once ready, remove the pan from heat and transfer the Fried Vermicelli Bangladeshi Noodles to a serving dish. Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped green chilies or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Noodle Perfection: Always rinse your vermicelli in cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent clumping.
- Vegetable Variation: Feel free to customize your mixed vegetables based on what's in season or in your refrigerator.
- Heat Control: Use medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning the ingredients.
- Egg Technique: Scramble eggs separately first for a more consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Soy Sauce Secret: Add soy sauce gradually and taste as you go to control the saltiness.
- Garnish Game: Fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions can elevate the final presentation and add a burst of freshness.Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of garlic or ginger when sautéing the onions!
