HERE IS HOW TO MAKE BEEF VERMICELLI:
WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?
You can find the ingredients to make Beef Vermicelli at your local grocery store or Asian market. Look for items like rice vermicelli noodles, thinly sliced beef, fresh vegetables carrots, onions and cabbage, as well as traditional Asian condiments like soy sauce, mirin and oyster sauce.
Everything for this recipe should be available in your local grocery store but substations can definitely be made!
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?
The ingredients for this recipe are:
- Rice Vermicelli
- Thin Beef Slices – I use the hot pot slices
- Garlic
- Onion
- Carrot
- Cabbage
- Cooking Oil
- Green Onions
- Dark Soy Sauce
- Oyster Sauce
- Mirin
- Brown Sugar
- Chilli Flakes
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
This recipe is a great one pan recipe! Most of the time, I eyeball my recipes but if you want to be super specific, you’ll need some measuring cups and spoons. Other than that, just a large frying pan and a kitchen utensil is all you’ll need.
Here are my Amazon kitchen favs:
CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?
You sure can substitute or add anything you’d like to this recipe! I love using vermicelli noodles for the texture but you can use whatever noodles you prefer instead.
For the protein in this, I use the thinly sliced beef rolls that are normally used in hot pot. You can use any protein you’d like really! Chicken, pork, shrimp to tofu would all be excellent choices for this!
The sauce is made up of dark soy, oyster sauce, mirin, brown sugar and chilli flakes. I really enjoy the sweet, salty and heat of this sauce combination but feel free to leave out or add anything you’d like to make the sauce your own!
Aside from this, the produce I used is cabbage, onion, garlic, green onions and carrots. I sometimes add some mushrooms and leafy greens but you can really add any frozen or fresh vegetables that you’d like!
WHAT DOES BEEF VERMICELLI TASTE LIKE?
Beef Vermicelli boasts a savory and umami-rich flavor profile with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy notes. The tender beef, combined with the chewy rice vermicelli noodles and crisp, fresh vegetables, creates a harmonious blend of textures and tastes.
This recipe is very savoury and makes a really good hearty meal to enjoy any day of the week! You’ve got a great mix of flavours, some carbs, protein and vegetables for it to be super well balanced!
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
Beef Vermicelli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving. I love eating these as leftovers and find that the flavour soaks in the beef and noodles more the next day.
Vermicelli noodles get dry fairly quick so if you reheat it, you can add in a small spoon of water to let noodles get moist again! A little bit of water does not affect the flavour of the overall dish.
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?
My mom has always been a noodle girl alongside me and often growing up, she would just prepare noodles whenever she craved it. She even said that one of her biggest pregnancy cravings was noodles while being pregnant with me!
Her favourite noodles is vermicelli noodles and it’s become my favourite too! I have all sorts of noodles in my pantry but I’ll never run out of vermicelli! I also love these noodles in soups as well as they are super easy to slurp all up!
I’m a noodle girl but my husband is not and it’s only the two of us at home at the moment so whenever I make noodles, I just make them for myself to enjoy for a few days or even just fresh for a meal.
ANY OTHER NOTES?
Yes! I recommend using a non-stick pan for this if you can as I find that the noodles stick really easily once the sauce is soaked up. Definitely not a must but helpful for clean up when you need to wash the pan!
