Tasty Facts
Vermicelli is ideal for breakfast – the most common dish, milk vermicelli , is popular with adults and children, vermicelli with cheese and even vermicelli casseroles are no less tasty, and vermicelli is often added to soups for satiety. Vermicelli in its pure form is cooked less often – because of the subtlety, even the highest quality vermicelli is very difficult to cook so that it does not stick together, and immediately after cooking, vermicelli must be eaten. Sticking of vermicelli, if you just cook it and leave it until tomorrow, will definitely happen. This is perhaps the most important difference from other types of pasta .
If you’ve boiled vermicelli and it’s stuck together, you can easily salvage it by making a casserole. Add eggs, milk and sugar to the pasta, mix well and put in the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
When choosing, attention is drawn to the indication of flour in the composition. The difference in the name is small, but it depends on whether the vermicelli is like porridge or not. If it says “Flour from durum wheat of the highest grade” – that’s good. And if there are incomprehensible additions in the name of the ingredient, for example, “durum wheat flour for premium pasta”, this is suspicious. Durum wheat is all, but this does not mean that it belongs to the durum variety. And it is not clear what is the highest grade – flour or pasta? Because Vermicelli grade requirements are lower than those for flour. “Traces of eggs may remain,” and similar warnings in the ingredients should also warn the buyer.
Checking the quality of vermicelli is simple: pour a small amount of vermicelli with boiling water, cover and let stand for a couple of minutes. If the vermicelli is completely cooked from just one soak in boiling water, this is low-quality vermicelli, like instant noodles (not to be confused with classic noodles ). Such vermicelli can be put on a casserole or on milk vermicelli, in soups it will completely boil. And if the vermicelli remained firm and became only a little flexible – such vermicelli is of excellent quality and there are no eggs in it, it will not make porridge out of the soup, you can simply cook this as a side dish and serve with butter and cheese.
