Fried Vermicelli

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the vermicelli bundle in half with scissors or sharp knife. Separate each half into small bunches.
2. 2
   Using tongs, carefully lower a bunch at a time into very hot, deep oil.
3. 3
   When vermicelli rises to the surface, remove immediately with tongs or slotted spoon. (The cooking time should be about four or five seconds.) Drain on paper towels. Crush vermicelli lightly.
