Rice noodles are one of the most popular dishes in China and other countries of Southeast Asia. In the Celestial Empire, there are a huge number of types of this product, differing from each other in thickness, length, shape, and also, various additives included in the dough recipe. For example, an infusion of green tea may be included in the test.
Rice noodles (or, as it is sometimes called, funcesa) in itself does not have a pronounced taste, so it is served with sauces or various additives - vegetables, chicken, seafood. I must say that this product is low-calorie, however, those who are on diets should not often order rice noodles in cafes or restaurants. The fact is that additives to fungicides can contain quite a lot of calories, for example, if a lot of vegetable oil is added to the salad, then it can hardly be called dietary. In addition, salads with rice noodles, as a rule, are spicy, which means that they stimulate appetite, therefore, you can eat more than planned unnoticed. But homemade dishes, which include rice noodles, can be safely recommended for dieters. Only it will be necessary to adjust the formulation, eliminating high-calorie supplements or significantly reducing their number.
Cooking rice noodles is easy, you just need to adhere to certain rules. For example, if funcheza is used for soup, then it must first be soaked for five minutes, and then boiled for two minutes. To prepare salads, rice noodles are boiled without soaking for five minutes, and then doused with cold water. If the funchez is very thin, then you can not cook it, but simply pour boiling water and let it stand for fifteen minutes in a sealed container
Let's make a dish called rice noodles with vegetables . We will need a package of funcesa weighing four hundred and fifty grams and vegetables - tomato (large), cucumber, bell pepper (preferably red). In addition, you need to take one hundred and fifty grams of ready-made Korean carrots, a little soy sauce, a bunch of greens (ideally cilantro, but you can also parsley), vegetable oil, salt and seasonings to taste.
Boil the noodles as described above. Ready noodles can be cut into shorter pieces, or you can leave them as they are. I wash the vegetables and cut into strips, after removing the seeds from pepper and tomato. Grind greens. We mix vegetables, greens, a prepared salad of Korean carrots and season our dish with seasonings (coriander seeds are good here or you can take a ready-made set of spices for Korean salads). Add soy sauce and vegetable oil to taste. Let the salad brew for at least an hour and serve. Such a dish goes well both as an appetizer and as a side dish for meat.
But here's how to cook a hot dish of rice noodles with seafood . We will need a package of a seafood cocktail (half a kilogram), a package of funcesa (450 grams), two onions, vegetable oil, soy sauce, salt and seasonings.
We spread the sea cocktail in a pan, pour boiling water, salt. Bring to a boil and remove from the stove, leaving to insist under the lid for five minutes, then discard the seafood in a colander.
Cut the onions in half rings, pour over boiling water, and then roll in flour and fry in vegetable oil. When the onion turns golden, add the prepared sea cocktail to the same pan and simmer it all together for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, boil rice noodles and add the finished noodles to the pan with onions and seafood. We mix everything, warm and season with soy sauce and seasonings to taste. Lovers can add chopped garlic. Serve the dish hot with vegetable salad.
