It is necessary
-
- vermicelli;
- water;
- salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Boil water. If you dip the vermicelli in cold water, they can stick together. Boil it in plenty of water. For 100 grams of pasta, take about 1 liter of water.
Step 2
Dip the vermicelli in salted boiling water. Stir the contents with a spoon to separate the pasta. Once the water boils, reduce the burner flame. Make sure that the water does not boil away. Do not close the lid of the pot, otherwise all the liquid will spill onto the stove.
Step 3
Cook the noodles for 10 to 12 minutes. The cooking time depends on the shape of the product and its quality. Taste the cooked noodles. The cooked vermicelli should be firm and not overcooked. Make sure the noodles are not overcooked. If you use pasta neither as a separate dish, but for example, in a casserole, then the cooking duration should be half the time.
Step 4
Take a colander, pour boiling water over it. This will heat it up and prepare it for hot noodles. Drain the contents of the pan into a colander, strain the water. Do not drain the pasta very carefully, there should be some liquid on it or it will dry out. Rinse the noodles under cold boiled water. Place a colander in a saucepan to drain out any remaining liquid.
Step 5
Heat the skillet well, add butter, or margarine. Put the vermicelli in and heat it for five minutes. Stir gently with a fork. Serve the noodles on preheated plates to keep them hot for a long time. Eat pasta immediately after cooking. If they stand in sauce or oil for a long time, they can turn sour.
