About Fried vermicelli

Fried vermicelli is a popular dish in Southeast Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Malaysian traditions. It features thin rice noodles, stir-fried with vegetables, protein sources like chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and flavored with soy sauce, garlic, and spices. Vermicelli noodles are typically low in fat and made from rice, making them a suitable option for gluten-free diets. They provide carbohydrates for energy but are relatively low in protein, fiber, and micronutrients unless paired with nutrient-dense ingredients such as vegetables and lean proteins.

Health Benefits

• Complex carbohydrates in vermicelli offer a quick source of energy and support brain function.
• Addition of vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers) boosts dietary fiber and provides vitamin C for immune support.
• Lean proteins like chicken or shrimp supply essential amino acids for muscle repair and maintenance.

Allergens: Contains soy, shellfish (if included), gluten (if wheat-based seasoning is used)

Suitable for: Gluten-free diets (when using rice vermicelli and gluten-free sauces), low-fat diets

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (if meat is used), soy-free diets (due to soy sauce inclusion)
