DIRECTIONS

PREPARE (45 minutes)

    1. Prepare the sauces. 
      • 2 tablespoons of dark soya sauce
      • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
      • 1 tablespoon of light soya sauce
      • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
    2. In a bowl with water just adequate to cover the uncooked rice vermicelli, add in the oyster sauce, light soya sauce, dark soya sauce and sesame oil. Marinate the rice vermicelli for at least half an hour until the rice vermicelli are soft. If you are rushing for time, you can use lukewarm water for the marinating. 
    3. Slice the shallot into thin slices. 

                            COOK (15 minutes)

                            1. When the rice vermicelli is soft, sauté the sliced shallot with 1 tbsp of cooking oil until fragrant.
                            2. Add in the soaked rice vermicelli (keep the seasoning water for the rice vermicelli) and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the flavour are well incorporated .
                            3. Gradually add the seasoning water to cover the rice vermicelli. (The rice vermicelli will take some time to absorb the seasoning water. You may or may not used up all the seasoning water and this will depend on how moist you want your rice vermicelli to be.)
                            4. Let it simmer until your desired texture. 
                            5. Once you are satisfied with the texture of the rice vermicelli, take a spoon and taste the rice vermicelli. If there is a need, add additional seasoning (oyster sauce, salt, white pepper and sesame oil) to taste. 
                            6. (Optional) Follow by beansprout. Stir until well mix and let it simmer for another one minute before off the heat.
