To properly cook rice vermicelli, you should typically soak the noodles in hot or boiling water for a short period, then drain them. For thinner vermicelli, pour boiling water over them and soak for 3-4 minutes, while thicker vermicelli might need 15-20 minutes in off-boil water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and drain thoroughly using a sieve. Rinsing the noodles with cool water afterward helps remove excess starch and prevents clumping.
Steps for Cooking Rice Vermicelli
- Boil Water: Bring a kettle or pot of water to a full boil.
- Submerge Noodles: Place the dry vermicelli in a bowl or pot and pour the hot or boiling water over them, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Soak:
- Thin Vermicelli: Soak for about 3-5 minutes.
- Thicker Vermicelli: Soak for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
- Stir: Gently stir the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.
- Drain: Drain the noodles using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Rinse (Optional): For added clarity and to remove any lingering starch, rinse the noodles with cool water.
Tips for Perfect Vermicelli
- Avoid Overcooking:
Rice vermicelli cooks very quickly, and boiling them for too long can make them mushy.
- Prevent Sticking:
Stirring is crucial, especially in the beginning, to keep the thin strands from clumping together.
- Use as a Base:
Cooked vermicelli is often a base for dishes like noodle salads, stir-fries, or as a side. For stir-fries, some methods suggest not fully cooking them beforehand to avoid becoming a soggy mess.
