SEVIYAN - SWEET ASIAN VERMICELLI (TOASTED)



Seviyan - Sweet Asian Vermicelli (Toasted) image

There are many, many versions of Seviyan (& spelling), you will find it differs from house to house & of course there are regional variations. Seviyan is the name of the toasted vermicelli used to make sweets aswell as savoury dishes in countries such as Pakistan & India. It is eaten throughout the year but comes into it's own during Ramadan. This is great fro Suhor (the morning meal before dawn) or as a desset after Iftar (the evening meal). I also like to make this a little drier & reduce the sugar somewhat. Recently I discovered that it's fun to swap the almonds & pistachios for a handful of prepared 'tropical fruit & nut mix' like you find in the health food shops & supermarkets). Seviyan is easy to find in most Asian supermarkets as well as the international isle in your regular supermarket - where it'll be sold as Pakistani Vermicelli. I most recently bought mine from Tesco in the UK - 2 packs for 50p

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -5 tablespoons sunflower oil (you can use vegetable or canola too)
7 ounces toasted vermicelli (Seviyan)
2 cups whole milk (I use semi skimmed)
1/2 cup sugar (you can reduce the amount to a 1/4 cup)
8 -10 whole green cardamom pods
4 tablespoons slivered almonds
20 shelled and sliced pistachios

Steps:

  • Place oil in a medium sauce pan, break the vermicelli into inch-long pieces (I find it easy to lay on a chopping board & slice with a large chefs knife) and add to the pan.
  • Cook the vermicelli over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the vermicelli has browned to a walnut colour - about 5 minutes, add the milk and almonds.
  • Gently bash the cardamom pods with a rolling pin or bottom of a heavy pan to release the seeds. Add the seeds to the cooking pan & add the sugar.
  • Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes over medium heat. The vermicelli will begin to soak up the milk. Check every 5 minutes to see how much milk has been absorbed & be careful to stir occasionally.
  • When the milk is almost completely absorbed, turn the heat as low as will go & cook with the lid off for around 10 minutes or until the noodles are separated.
  • Serve warm in small bowls topped with the pistachios. To make this a creamy dessert, you can also spoon over a little single cream or evaporated milk!
  • (If using the mixed fruit & nut add half of it at the time when the almonds are added & the remainder to decorate like the pistachios).

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb vermicelli
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 bunch green onion, chopped (tops only)
1 can water chestnut, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup sesame seeds or 1/2 cup crushed peanuts
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less to taste or desired heat)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Cook vermicelli according to package directions (al dente). Drain and put into a large bowl.
  • Add diced vegetables.
  • In a saucepan on the stove add the oil, red pepper flakes and garlic, saute about one minute.
  • Add the soy sauce and honey and bring to a low boil for about one minute.
  • Pour dressing over pasta/vegetables and toss to coat.
  • Toss a couple of more times before serving.
  • After final toss before serving sprinkle the top with sesame seeds or crushed peanuts.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vermicelli, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the noodles from cooking evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will give you plenty of room to cook the noodles and vegetables without overcrowding.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Be sure to cook the vermicelli according to the package directions. This will ensure that the noodles are cooked properly and not too soft or too hard.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce: Once the noodles are cooked, add the vegetables and sauce. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp and then add the sauce. Stir until the sauce is evenly distributed.
  • Serve immediately: Asian vermicelli is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the noodles are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Asian vermicelli is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great option for a quick and easy meal, and it's also perfect for potlucks and parties.
