Stir-fried Rice Vermicelli Bihun Goreng

Stir-fried Rice Vermicelli may seem identical to Stir-fry Noodles with Shrimp but in
fact, has a very different flavor and texture. This has been one of my all time favorite
noodle dishes since childhood. A classic Indonesian dish, Stir-fried Rice Vermicelli
features thin rice stick noodles and is lighter than most other noodle dishes that use egg
noodles. My version uses only vegetables, but you can add any meat, poultry, or
shrimp. Savory and a little sweet, this dish is one of the first to go at get-togethers.
