Grandma-in-law used to prepare this dish for our breakfast when we traveled back to in law's place. She stopped cooking since a year ago. She's now 89 years old, wow! Before she retired, she passed on the recipe to me. :-)
I did't follow exactly what grandma-in-law did. In fact, I apply some shortcuts. For example, she used to fry egg, leave it cool, cut it into strips and used it for garnishing. But for me, I just make scrambled eggs to stir-fry with vermicelli. Either way, the noodles tastes good especially with the condiments of tomato ketchup.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Vermicelli, adequate amount for 2, soaked and drained
3 Omega 3 eggs
3 clove of garlic, chopped finely
12 prawns, shelled and de-veined
some cabbage, julienne
a handful of bean sprout
sunflower oil
water
Seasoning:
2 & 1/2 tbsp tomato sauce
2 & 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp chili paste
Garnishing:
1 stalk of scallion, chopped
some crispy fried shallot
Method:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok, add the eggs and scramble the eggs until cooked. Dish out and set aside.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok and saute garlic until fragrant. Add the prawns, cabbage, bean sprout and stir fry.
3. Add seasoning. Stir fry for half a minute.
4. Pour in some water and bring to boil. Stir in vermicelli and mix well.
5. Add scrambled egg and stir fry well.
6. Serve on plate, garnish with fried shallots and scallion.

such dish can have it either on b'fast, lunch or dinner. yummy yummy....
in fact the biggest challenge I faced frying vermicelli is getting stick on the wok...coz I don't like adding too much oil..if I add water, too watery also not nice..help!!!
very nice looking fried rice vermicelli.
when come to vermicelli, I get my husband to cook it for me. lol
looks very yummy!!! frying vermicelli takes alot of skill to make sure it won't stick to the pan.
I have never tried frying vermicelli with tomato sauce before :) I think I will try this out. Thanks for sharing this.
The vermicelli pic looks so stunning!
New kid, yes you are right. I cook this for our dinner. With the tomato sauce, the vermicelli is really appetizing.
Simple girl, I'll fry the eggs first before frying the vermicelli. This tends to reduce the % of sticky to the wok.
foodbin, :) thanks.
Food Paradise, oh you're so lucky. Unlike you, my hubby just know how to make burger for me. Ramly burger nia, sob sob. :(
buzzingbee, practice makes a perfect fried vermicelli.
Elin, no problem. We learn from each other.
Selba, thanks for your compliment.
looks really delicious. I love the generous toppings :)
Surprisingly, it don't look red though tomato sauce is added. I like mee goreng with tomato sauce. :D
Oh yes! carbs for breakie- I miss that! I like noodles of any kind!
Noobcook, I love it in this way too. :)
Dora, I didn't add lot's of it, just 2 and a half spoons.
Daphne, me too. I prefer noodles than rice.
I am not good at stir-frying noodles. Your dish looks very tasty and appetizing!! I start to feel hungry now....
I enjoyed fried noodles and I do dish it out once a while. The most important part is the water before the noodles. Once dried and noodles fried it will be fluffy and taste good with the absorption!
