What are vermicelli noodles?

Rice vermicelli noodles are very thin noodles that are made with rice ground up rice. In the dry form, they are very delicate. They can come in various shapes and sizes; flat, round, thick, and thin.

It is important to buy the size of noodle that you prefer. Whether that is thick, or thin. For this recipe, we used a vermicelli noodle that is on the thinner side.

How to cook vermicelli noodles:

You will need to bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Next you will add the desired amount of dried noodles directly into the water. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of noodle that you use.

The cooking time will be shorter for thinner noodles, and longer for thicker noodles. Generally speaking, boil the noodles for 8-10 minutes.

Remove them for the water and rinse them immediately to stop the cooking process.

It is important to not overcook the noodles. Mushy vermicelli noodles can literally ruin the overall flavor and texture of the bowls.

Different protein options to add to the bowls:

Leftover meats make great additions to these vermicelli bowls. We have used leftover beef brisket, which was absolutely delicious.

Another great protein choice was this leftover blackened salmon.

Even more, make the dish completely vegetarian by omitting the meat and just having vegetables. Fried or seared tofu would be another great alternative to meat.

Are vermicelli bowls healthy?

Yes, vermicelli bowls are a great, healthy alternative to traditional salads. The rice vermicelli noodles offer an amazing complex carb.

Load the bowls with as many of your favorite vegetables as possible to offer even more healthy components.

Vegetable ideas include:

Be sure to finely dice, or julienne your vegetables for the best texture. Here are some delicious vegetables to include in your bowl:

  • Carrots
  • Cucumbers
  • Green Onion
  • Red Onion
  • Broccoli
