Love is in my Tummy

Plant-based flavor

Stir-fried One pan Egg Semiya

Stir Fried Egg Semiya

Nobody loves Semiya (Vermicelli) as much as I do. Seriously, so many people have freaked out about the amount of Vermicelli I consume in a month! Anytime that I have to cook just for myself, I go straight to this Stir-fried One pan Egg Semiya. I don’t even think about other things, just head straight to this. No detour whatsoever!

Although I do enjoy regular vermicelli, I am partial to this this super fine, thin kind (ahem! Anil Semiya is my favourite). I cannot imagine a pantry without this, and when I run out of these, I get weird withdrawal symptoms until I replace them.

And look at this ingredients list! How little chopping is that??? I’ve been making these for as long as I can remember – in fact I used to stir-fry any left over string hoppers (idiyappam) into these even as a kid.

Stir Fried Egg Semiya Ingredients

Heat some oil and temper the cumin seeds. Sauté the onions, ginger, chillies and curry leaves. Don’t freak out about the green chillies – I’ve just scored them on the side, so not much heat gets out. It just adds a nice flavour. I also add a little turmeric and red chilli powder, because the turmeric is a great antiseptic to fight any salmonella the egg might have. And I would add red chilli powder in my coffee if I could!

Scramble the eggs, but I like to keep it chunky. I just love biting into the egg as I eat, it’s a delightful change in texture!

Add the vermicelli and water, cover and cook until soft! That’s it!

Stir Fried Egg Semiya step 5

Transfer to a bowl, and enjoy the no-hassle meal you just made for yourself. Delicious solitude awaits your pleasure – breakfast, lunch or dinner!

When you make these (which I really think you SHOULD!), be sure to SHARE YOUR PHOTOS with me through Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I’d love to see what you cook from here and will share it with pride on my social media feeds.
