Description

Cooked vermicelli noodles are a type of ultra-thin pasta, similar to spaghetti but much thinner, which, once boiled, acquire a soft and slightly delicate texture. Originating from Italian cuisine, vermicelli noodles have become popular in various cuisines around the world, especially in dishes from Asia and Latin America, where they are adapted for both hot and cold preparations.

In their cooked version, vermicelli is ideal for incorporating into soups, salads, stir-fries, and stews, providing a light and slightly absorbent base that enhances the flavors of the ingredients they are combined with. Their quick cooking time makes them very practical for recipes that require speed and versatility.

Properties: As they are made primarily from wheat flour (or in some variants from rice or mung bean, depending on the region), cooked vermicelli is a source of easily digestible carbohydrates, providing quick energy. They are also low in fat and contain a smaller proportion of protein.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different countries, these noodles may be called fideos cabello de ángel, cabello de ángel, or simply vermicelli. In some places, they are also known as fideos finos or fideos delgaditos, depending on their thickness and texture.
