Short Cut Mexican Fideo (Vermicelli) image

This fideo is simple, quick and delicious. It's great as a light meal or side dish. There are many ways to prepare fideo but for me, this is the quickest. You can add some tomato sauce and a dash of cumin when you add the chicken stock for extra flavor. Add less water if you want drier pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and tender fideo noodles will make all the difference in your dish.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Fideo noodles cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and don't be afraid to experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: Fideo is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to absorb the broth and become mushy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Fideo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor profile, fideo is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
