AWESOME VEGETARIAN FRIED RICE VERMICELLI

This vegetarian fried noodles is easy to prepare yet awesome.  With the addition of crushed vegetarian 'salted fish' [kiam hoo] makes it even more appetising.  You would not miss meat but will love this meatless noodles.

The sweetness comes from the cabbages and carrot.  Great to serve it with cut small red chillies and lime juice, it is really yummy.

 The crispy golden flakes on top the noodles are vegetarian salted fish [kiam hoo] which is made from foo peh [beancurd sheets].  Ready made ones are available in most vegetarian food ingredients stores.
