Taiwanese Fried Rice Vermicelli | Easy Home-Style Recipe

Fried rice vermicelli is a familiar home-style dish in Taiwan, bringing together rice noodles, vegetables, pork, dried shrimp, and soy sauce in one comforting meal.

The secret to great fried rice vermicelli is all about texture. Soaking the noodles in cold water helps them stay pleasantly springy, while a simple cooking technique using cabbage helps prevent the noodles from sticking to the pan.

This easy recipe is seasoned with DoYouBo Jinmeiman No Added Sugar Soy Sauce, adding savory depth and rich soy aroma to every bite.

Ingredients

• 5 dried shiitake mushrooms
• 150 g lean pork, cut into thin strips
• 6 shallots
• 1/3 carrot
• 1/6 head cabbage
• 50 ml DoYouBo Jinmeiman No Added Sugar Soy Sauce
• 250 ml water
• 1 tsp ground pepper
• 1/2 package rice vermicelli
• Dried shrimp, as needed
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Prepare the mushrooms

Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water until softened, then slice them into thin strips.

2. Soak the rice vermicelli

Soak the rice vermicelli in cold water until softened.

Drain and cut the noodles into shorter, easy-to-eat lengths if needed.

3. Prepare the vegetables

Thinly slice the shallots, carrot, and cabbage.

4. Sauté the shallots

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan.

Add the shallots and sauté until fragrant.

5. Add the ingredients

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, pork, and carrot to the pan.

Stir-fry until the ingredients begin to cook through.

6. Season with soy sauce

Add DoYouBo Jinmeiman No Added Sugar Soy Sauce and continue stir-frying until the pork takes on the color and flavor of the soy sauce.

7. Add water

Pour approximately 250 ml of water into the pan and bring it to a boil.

8. Add the rice vermicelli

Once the water is boiling, add the softened rice vermicelli.

Stir-fry over medium heat, allowing the noodles to absorb the savory cooking liquid.

9. Add the cabbage

Once the rice vermicelli has softened, add the sliced cabbage.

10. Layer the noodles over the vegetables

Gently move the rice vermicelli so that the noodles sit on top of the cabbage.

This allows the cabbage to cook underneath while helping prevent the noodles from sticking directly to the pan.

11. Cover and steam

Cover the pan, reduce to low heat, and cook for 3 minutes.

Remove the lid, give everything one final stir, and serve hot.

Tips for Perfect Fried Rice Vermicelli

For springy noodles:
Soak the rice vermicelli in cold water rather than hot water before cooking. This helps maintain a pleasantly chewy texture.

To prevent sticking:
Keep the cabbage underneath the rice vermicelli during the final steaming stage. The cabbage softens as it cooks while creating a layer between the noodles and the pan.

A Taste of Taiwanese Home Cooking

Fried rice vermicelli is the kind of simple, satisfying dish commonly enjoyed at home in Taiwan.

With rice noodles absorbing the flavors of shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, pork, vegetables, and soy sauce, each ingredient contributes to the savory aroma and texture of the finished dish.
