Yes, this is a real thing. You can find this in NYC's Chinatown restaurants. Once in a while my mother ordered this to take home. Sometimes we ate this at the dim sum restaurants. Basically it is mei fun (Asian rice noodles) stir fried in a sweet and tangy sauce. Mixed in with Chinese char siu, shrimp and vegetables. The taste will blow you away.
----------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS:
(Serves 3 to 4)
250g Dried Rice Vermicelli
200g Chinese Char Siu
100g Shrimp (about 10 pieces, shelled and deveined)
1½ Cup Bean Sprouts
150g Onion
150g Bell Peppers
3 Spring Onion Stalks
2 Large Eggs
SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
3/4 Cup Tomato Ketchup
1/4 Cup White Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
RECIPE:
Soak dried rice vermicelli in a bowl of boiled water. Making sure there's enough water to completely covered. Put a lid on top of bowl and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes. **Not all rice vermicelli are same so please follow packaged directions.
Afterwards drain and let set covered with damp towel to keep it from drying. Make sure the noodles are dry for best results and taste.
Chop char siu into strips. Do the same for onions, bell peppers and spring onions.
Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
In a hot wok or pan add tablespoon of cooking oil. Then add two beaten eggs. Let raw eggs sit in pan for 5 to 10 seconds to set and then scramble until completely cooked. Remove and set aside.
Heat wok or pan until it smokes then add 3 tablespoons of oil. Depending on how seasoned your wok is you may need to add more oil during cooking.
Add bell peppers and onions cook until onions start to turn clear and peppers have softened.
Add the rice vermicelli and stir around using long chop sticks or tongs. After a minute add the sauce and completely cook noodles then add raw shrimp. *Note if you have a small pan or wok size probably best to parboil the shrimp beforehand. My wok can get really hot so shrimp will cook through easily with so many ingredients inside.*
A minute later add char siu, scrambled eggs and bean sprouts. Gently mix and combine with rest of ingredients until shrimp is cooked. 30 seconds before finished cooking add spring onions mix well.
Plate and enjoy!
