FRIED VERMICELLI AND GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Cook vermicelli in salted water to al dente; drain. Heat extra-virgin olive oil and butter with garlic over medium heat and cook garlic until it begins to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove garlic and raise heat. Fry the scallions in the seasoned oil for 3 to 4 minutes. Add well-drained pasta to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Toss the pasta liberally with the scallions and seasoned oil. Place a plate smaller than the pan down over the vermicelli and weight it with a few cans or a heavy skillet. Let the vermicelli brown and crisp up a bit. Remove the skillet and plate and invert onto a serving platter. Garnish with basil.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS WITH VERMICELLI

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, red-wine vinegar, thyme, herbes de Provence, sugar, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a heavy skillet and add onions. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add to tomato mixture, and cook, stirring, about 30 minutes or until sauce is quite thick. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and stir.
• Cut mushrooms into thin crosswise slices. There should be about 10 cups.
• Heat 3/4 cup olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add half the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Drain mushrooms, but reserve oil. Return oil to skillet, and add remaining mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste. Add more oil if necessary. Cook until mushrooms are crisp. Drain mushrooms.
• Add mushrooms to tomato sauce, and stir to blend. Let stand until at room temperature.
• Bring a large quantity of water to a boil and add salt. Add vermicelli or capellini, and cook about 3 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Do not overcook.
• Drain vermicelli or capellini, and run under cold water until chilled. Drain thoroughly and pour into a bowl. Add remaining olive oil, scallions or chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic, ginger and five-spice powder. Toss to blend well. Serve.

VERMICELLI WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the vermicelli coils, turning with tongs or two wooden spoons, until partially golden, about 2 minutes. (Work quickly and watch the color change to prevent burning the pasta.) 2. Transfer the vermicelli to an ovenproof casserole dish. In the same skillet, cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms release their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the cheese, and bring to a boil. Pour over the vermicelli in the casserole dish. Gently press the pasta into the sauce. Cover with foil and bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vermicelli is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Sprinkle with cheese and serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

VEGGIE VERMICELLI

Steps:

• Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiled water from the kettle. Leave for 3-5 mins to soften, then drain and plunge the noodles into a bowl of cold water to prevent them drying out. Set aside.
• Whisk all the dressing ingredients with 2 tsp cold water in a small bowl and season lightly. Put the carrots, cucumber ribbons, sugar snap peas and half the coriander in a bowl, then toss with half the dressing.
• Drain the noodles well, then toss with the vegetables. Divide between two plates, then top with the rest of the coriander and the peanuts. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side for drizzling over.
