A HOMEMADE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: CHICKEN VERMICELLI RICE



A Homemade San Francisco Treat: Chicken Vermicelli Rice image

Years ago, I came up with my clone of a dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.

LUCKY'S CHICKEN ROASTED WITH VERMICELLI AND GARLIC



Lucky's Chicken Roasted With Vermicelli And Garlic image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, pastas, roasts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup water
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup virgin olive oil, plus oil for brushing the chicken
1/4 cup minced fresh garlic
1 pound fresh egg vermicell (see note)
3 roasting chickens, each weighing 2 to 3 pounds, halved
Freshly ground black pepper, as desired

Steps:

  • Add one teaspoon of the salt to the cup of water and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the half-cup of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic to the warm oil and saute very gently until the garlic starts to brown. Watch carefully, because the minced garlic can quickly turn from "starting to brown" to burned - and the acrid taste and flavor of burned garlic is undesirable. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the salted water and cook over medium heat until almost all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Bring a pot of water large enough to contain the egg vermicelli to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta. Cook for just 30 seconds. Drain immediately and refresh the pasta under cold running water. Drain well and combine the pasta with the garlic mixture.
  • Divide the vermicelli into six equal mounds in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate all the chicken halves. Brush the chicken halves with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a chicken half on top of each mound of vermicelli and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the edges of the vermicelli are browned and crispy. If vermicelli does not brown sufficiently on the edges, remove the excess chicken fat from the roasting pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler for one to three minutes to brown.
  • With a slotted spatula, lift each chicken half with its vermicelli onto a heated serving dish. Serve immediately.

LEMONGRASS-CHICKEN MEATBALLS ON RICE VERMICELLI

Provided by Rick Rodgers

Categories     Chicken     Dinner     Lunch     Noodle     Lemongrass     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Dipping sauce
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1/4 cup distilled white or rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 carrot, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
2 Thai bird or serrano chiles, seeded and minced
Vermicelli and scallion oil
10 ounces thin rice vermicelli
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Lemongrass-chicken
1 stalk lemongrass
1 pound ground chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 Thai bird or serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. To make the dipping sauce, bring 1/2 cup water and the granulated sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Add the fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, carrot, and chiles and stir well.
  • 2. To prepare the vermicelli, place in a medium bowl and add enough hot tap water to cover. Let stand until the vermicelli is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and return to the bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil.
  • 3. To make the scallion oil, pour the remaining vegetable oil into a medium skillet. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • 4. To make the meatballs, remove and discard the outer layers from the lemongrass to reveal the pale yellow inner stalk. Trim off the bulbous tip of the stalk. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice the lemongrass into rounds until you reach the very tough upper stalk. Discard the upper stalk. Transfer the sliced lemongrass to a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse about 12 times, until the lemongrass is finely minced. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of the minced lemongrass. (The remaining lemongrass can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
  • 5. Combine the minced lemongrass, ground chicken, shallots, fish sauce, cornstarch, chile, garlic, brown sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. Using your wet hands rinsed under cold water, shape the meat mixture into 12 equal meatballs.
  • 6. Prepare a medium-hot fire in an outdoor grill.
  • 7. To grill the meatballs with a basket, lightly oil the molds (a pump oil sprayer works best). Place the meatballs in the basket and close it. Place the basket on the cooking grate and cover. Grill the meatballs until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the basket over and grill until the other sides are lightly browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the basket and transfer to a bowl. To grill the meatballs without the basket, lightly oil the cooking grate. Place the meatballs on the grill and cover. Grill until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the meatballs and cook until the other sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
  • 8. Pour the dipping sauce into 4 ramekins. Divide the rice vermicelli among 4 deep bowls. Top each with 3 meatballs and equal amounts of the scallion oil. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Vermicelli with Spicy Chicken Liver-Tomato image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 pints chicken liver, rinsed, drained, and cut into individual lobes
Splash brandy
4 pounds ripe Roma tomatoes, peeled, and coarsely chopped, or 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed Italian tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon sugar, if needed
1 pound dried vermicelli
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chicken livers and brandy. Return the pan to the heat and shake the pan to ignite. Cook until livers are lightly browned on all sides but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, bay leaf, black pepper and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir well, then let the sauce come to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk in the cream and basil. Season with salt and pepper and, if the sauce seems overly acidic, add the sugar.
  • Meanwhile, in a kettle or large saucepan, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Remove the bay leaf from the chicken liver sauce and discard the leaf. Toss the pasta with some of the tomato sauce, then divide among serving plates. Top each serving with more sauce and some of the chicken livers. Pass the cheese at the table.

CHICKEN VERMICELLI



Chicken Vermicelli image

This recipe comes from Holly Clegg's Trim and Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. This actually turned out to be a much lighter version of a family favorite that used a whole stick of butter! Comfort type food that can be made ahead for a quick meal! You can use leftover chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup roasted red peppers which we omitted for family preference. Mushrooms would be a nice addition!

VERMICELLI CHICKEN



Vermicelli Chicken image

Another chicken recipe, my family loves chicken.

Provided by Eve Peterson

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz vermicelli noodles
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3/4 c milk
1 c mayonnaise
12 oz frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 c shredded colby jack cheese
1/2 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Place cooked and drained noodles in greased 9x13 inch pan. Cut chicken into bit sized pieces and lay on top of noodles. Mix soup, milk, mayonnaise, vegetables and shredded cheese. Spread on top of chicken. Sprinkle parmesan over top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, until chicken is cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vermicelli: Rice vermicelli is the most common type used in this dish, but you can also use mung bean or sweet potato vermicelli. Make sure to soak the vermicelli in warm water for about 10 minutes before cooking, or until it becomes soft and pliable.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your vermicelli chicken will taste. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, crisp vegetables, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breast is a lean meat, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the vermicelli according to the package directions: Vermicelli cooks very quickly, so be sure to follow the instructions on the package carefully.
  • Assemble the vermicelli chicken just before serving: This will help to keep the vermicelli from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Vermicelli chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your vermicelli chicken spicy, savory, or sweet, there's a recipe out there that's perfect for you.
