Everyone has a favorite food that always manages to lift their spirits. My daughter is no exception. Her favorite food is Fried Rice Noodle. This morning, I made her some fried rice noodles for breakfast before she left for school.
Although it looks simple, fried rice noodles cooked with passion and love always taste so delicious especially when eaten on an empty stomach in the morning. The fragrant aroma of the spices and the soft texture of the rice noodles make this dish one of our family’s favorite breakfast choices.
In this post, I’d like to share a simple recipe for fried rice noodles perfect for a quick, filling breakfast in the morning.
Now that all the ingredients are ready, it’s time to start cooking. All the ingredients used are very simple and easy to find in the kitchen. The main ingredient which, of course, must not be forgotten is uncooked rice noodles. For the seasoning, I only use 2 cloves of shallots, 1 clove of garlic, celery, scallions, 1 egg, sweet soy sauce, salt, and bouillon powder. If you want a richer flavor, you can also add a little onion. For those who love spicy food, a few slices of red chili or bird’s eye chili can also be a perfect addition.
The first step is to soak the still stiff rice noodles in plain water for about 15 minutes until they become more pliable. Once the rice noodles are no longer stiff, drain the soaking water.
Next, bring water to a boil in a wok. Once the water is fully boiling, add the soaked rice noodles to the hot water and cook for about 5 minutes. This step ensures the noodles will be softer when cooked later. Avoid overcooking them to prevent the noodles from falling apart. Afterward, remove the rice noodles, drain them, and discard the cooking water.
While waiting for the rice noodles to drain, thinly slice the shallots and garlic. For the garlic, I usually crush it first before slicing so that its aroma is released more fully when sautéed. If you like spicy flavors, you can also slice the chili peppers at this stage and add them along with the other seasonings.
Heat a little cooking oil, then sauté the shallots and garlic over low heat until fragrant. Once the aroma begins to fill the air, add an egg and scramble it until it’s evenly mixed with the sautéed shallots and garlic.
Next, add the drained rice noodles, then gently stir with a spatula so the seasonings are evenly distributed. Add salt, bouillon powder, and sweet soy sauce to taste. Stir again until all the seasonings coat the rice noodles perfectly.
As a finishing touch, sprinkle with sliced green onions and celery leaves. In addition to making the dish look more appealing, these two ingredients also add a fresh aroma that makes the fried rice noodles even more delicious.
And that’s it! These simple fried rice noodles are ready to serve while still warm. This dish is perfect for breakfast because it’s quick and easy to make, uses simple ingredients, yet remains delicious and filling. Hopefully, this simple recipe can serve as inspiration for those of you looking for breakfast ideas at home.
