A HOMEMADE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: CHICKEN VERMICELLI RICE
Years ago, I came up with my clone of a dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.

Steps:
- 1. To make the dipping sauce, bring 1/2 cup water and the granulated sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Add the fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, carrot, and chiles and stir well.
- 2. To prepare the vermicelli, place in a medium bowl and add enough hot tap water to cover. Let stand until the vermicelli is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and return to the bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil.
- 3. To make the scallion oil, pour the remaining vegetable oil into a medium skillet. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- 4. To make the meatballs, remove and discard the outer layers from the lemongrass to reveal the pale yellow inner stalk. Trim off the bulbous tip of the stalk. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice the lemongrass into rounds until you reach the very tough upper stalk. Discard the upper stalk. Transfer the sliced lemongrass to a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse about 12 times, until the lemongrass is finely minced. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of the minced lemongrass. (The remaining lemongrass can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
- 5. Combine the minced lemongrass, ground chicken, shallots, fish sauce, cornstarch, chile, garlic, brown sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. Using your wet hands rinsed under cold water, shape the meat mixture into 12 equal meatballs.
- 6. Prepare a medium-hot fire in an outdoor grill.
- 7. To grill the meatballs with a basket, lightly oil the molds (a pump oil sprayer works best). Place the meatballs in the basket and close it. Place the basket on the cooking grate and cover. Grill the meatballs until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the basket over and grill until the other sides are lightly browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the basket and transfer to a bowl. To grill the meatballs without the basket, lightly oil the cooking grate. Place the meatballs on the grill and cover. Grill until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the meatballs and cook until the other sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
- 8. Pour the dipping sauce into 4 ramekins. Divide the rice vermicelli among 4 deep bowls. Top each with 3 meatballs and equal amounts of the scallion oil. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chicken livers and brandy. Return the pan to the heat and shake the pan to ignite. Cook until livers are lightly browned on all sides but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, bay leaf, black pepper and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir well, then let the sauce come to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk in the cream and basil. Season with salt and pepper and, if the sauce seems overly acidic, add the sugar.
- Meanwhile, in a kettle or large saucepan, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Remove the bay leaf from the chicken liver sauce and discard the leaf. Toss the pasta with some of the tomato sauce, then divide among serving plates. Top each serving with more sauce and some of the chicken livers. Pass the cheese at the table.

Steps:
- Add one teaspoon of the salt to the cup of water and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the half-cup of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic to the warm oil and saute very gently until the garlic starts to brown. Watch carefully, because the minced garlic can quickly turn from "starting to brown" to burned - and the acrid taste and flavor of burned garlic is undesirable. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the salted water and cook over medium heat until almost all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Bring a pot of water large enough to contain the egg vermicelli to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta. Cook for just 30 seconds. Drain immediately and refresh the pasta under cold running water. Drain well and combine the pasta with the garlic mixture.
- Divide the vermicelli into six equal mounds in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate all the chicken halves. Brush the chicken halves with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a chicken half on top of each mound of vermicelli and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the edges of the vermicelli are browned and crispy. If vermicelli does not brown sufficiently on the edges, remove the excess chicken fat from the roasting pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler for one to three minutes to brown.
- With a slotted spatula, lift each chicken half with its vermicelli onto a heated serving dish. Serve immediately.
CHICKEN VERMICELLI
This recipe comes from Holly Clegg's Trim and Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. This actually turned out to be a much lighter version of a family favorite that used a whole stick of butter! Comfort type food that can be made ahead for a quick meal! You can use leftover chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup roasted red peppers which we omitted for family preference. Mushrooms would be a nice addition!

FIVE SPICE CHICKEN WITH VERMICELLI NOODLE SALAD
Steps:
- Heat a grill skillet or heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with vegetable oil. Toss chicken thighs with Chinese five spice and salt. Place on the hot grill pan, turning after 3 or 4 minutes, until nicely charred and cooked through. Be careful not to crowd the pan. If pan is too small you may need to cook in batches. Drizzle the honey over the chicken, squeeze over the juice of 1 lime. Cook another 1 - 2 minutes to allow honey to melt and lime to reduce. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts, set aside. Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined. Combine all salad ingredients and toss with dressing. Garnish with green onion, cilantro and/or thai basil. Slice chicken and serve with noodle salad. Notes Make-Ahead: The chicken can be served warm over the noodles or chilled. Which also makes it a great make-ahead meal. Refrigerate the chicken, noodles and dressing separately. When the noodles are tossed with dressing they will loosen. Topped with sliced chilled chicken

HOT CHICKEN CURRY VERMICELLI
A great Singapore style noodle my brother sent me. Very easy and impresses my roommates without digging a hole in my budget. It's versatile as well. You can substitute chicken with tofu, shrimp (another favorite), beef, imitation crab, canned tuna, etc. Plus, it's much healthier than cream-based pasta. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Place cooked and drained noodles in greased 9x13 inch pan. Cut chicken into bit sized pieces and lay on top of noodles. Mix soup, milk, mayonnaise, vegetables and shredded cheese. Spread on top of chicken. Sprinkle parmesan over top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, until chicken is cooked.
Tips:
- Choose the right vermicelli. Thin vermicelli cooks quickly and is best for stir-fries and soups. Medium vermicelli is a good all-purpose choice. Thick vermicelli is best for salads and cold dishes.
- Soak the vermicelli before cooking. This helps to soften the noodles and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a large pot or wok to cook the vermicelli. This will help to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the vermicelli. This will help to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.
- Cook the vermicelli according to the package directions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vermicelli you are using.
- Drain the vermicelli and rinse it with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the noodles from becoming sticky.
- Use the vermicelli in your favorite dishes. Vermicelli can be used in stir-fries, soups, salads, and cold dishes.
Conclusion:
Vermicelli is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to cook and can be used in place of other noodles, such as spaghetti or rice noodles. With its mild flavor, vermicelli can be paired with a variety of sauces and ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a more elaborate dish, vermicelli is a great option.
