RICE VERMICELLI WITH VEGETABLES
Back in my family's restaurant days in the 1980s and '90s, there were many dishes that didn't sell because they were unfamiliar. Dry-fried green beans, stir-fried potato strips, hot-and-sour cabbage, and rice vermicelli were among them. When customer demand forced us to shift to buffet-style, we included all of these dishes and many others. That's when people learned to love rice vermicelli. I always keep a pack in the pantry and can make these noodles in a flash, using whatever veggies and protein I have on hand. This recipe will get you started. - Hsiao-Ching Chou (c)2021 by Hsiao-Ching Chou. Excerpted from Vegetarian Chinese Soul Food by permission of Sasquatch Books.

THE PERFECT EGYPTIAN RICE WITH VERMICELLI
Egyptian rice is a very short grain rice, grown in Egypt. It is not cooked the same way as medium or long grain rice. When cooked, it is supposed to have a fluffy texture, not at all sticky.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: For this recipe, it's best to use a long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine. These types of rice cook up fluffy and separate, making them ideal for fried rice dishes.
- Soak the rice: Soaking the rice before cooking helps to remove excess starch and results in more tender, fluffy rice.
- Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet is the best type of cookware to use for this recipe. It allows you to easily stir-fry the rice and vegetables.
- Cook the rice in stages: First, cook the rice by itself until it is almost tender. Then, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp. Finally, add the eggs and cook until they are scrambled.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the rice to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
Conclusion:
Vegetable rice with vermicelli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
