The trick to a great vermicelli is the chicken broth. Vermicelli customarily comes in one lb packages, so about half a package.
Two In the same oil, brown the minced onion, add the sliced tomato. Three When broth is boiling, add vermicelli and reduce heat to a low cook. Cover and cook till the vermicelli has doused up the liquid, about 30 mins. The thing is my mom does not talk Spanish. Fideo is spanish for noodles and that's what you'd call it. Or rice with noodles in which the noodles are fried before they are boiled. Here's anr eccentric comfort food style dish that I adore a little bit like yours. It's called Platillo, and I believe it hails from Cuba. You should purchase these in the superstore and they are typically called fideos in Spanish. I like to use some good homemade or commercial stock instead of the bullion cube. Hi James - sounds good, do they fry the rice as well? My abuelita makes this for me because I like it so much. She lives three hundred miles away from me so I am not getting it very frequently but now I should make it. I should use it as a soup base or over pasta, for sure. Not to be purposely macabre, but, I must thank your mummy for this recipe.
My mummy made something extraordinarily similar ( with the noodles fried ) and I loved it. I made this recipe for dinner tonight, and it appeared to be a Hit. With my man and my six year old ( she's a really picky eater ). I made it with repeated vermicelli not the bird's nest. What we think we know as "fideo" is much shorter than vermicelli. Any way, I suspect I have never eaten it this way but looks truly great. Your recipe looks close to my mom's except, she uses bacon fat rather than olive oil. I am also from new mexico and we call this dish verm-i-sell-ee also. Here in Canada, I have just ever heard it articulated "verm-i-chell-ee".
This is the 1st time I have heard differently. Mexico-Spaniards pronounce it the same way we do. As fast as I find the vermicelli I'll try the recipe. Never heard of vermicelli being made from soy. Per the sopa bit, strange eh? It isn't something particular to our family. But we call the dish, of short noodles, fideos. Fideo is tasty when stirred into a bowl of frijoles de la olla.
