Dry Mee Siam
- Prepare Vermicelli:
- Soak vermicelli in water for about 30 minutes until softened. Drain well and set aside.
- Make Spice Paste:
- In a food processor, grind the spice paste ingredients to a fine consistency. Set aside.
- Cook the Omelette:
- Heat a wok with a little oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook until set. Fold the omelette, then slice it into thin strips. Set aside for garnishing.
- Cook the Spice Paste:
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok. Add the spice paste and cook, stirring, until it becomes aromatic and the oil separates—this ensures the chillies are well-cooked and eliminates any raw flavor.
- Stir-Fry with Shrimp and Tofu:
- Add the shrimp to the wok and stir-fry until they’re halfway cooked. Add in the fried tofu pieces and stir briefly.
- Add Vermicelli and Seasonings:
- Toss in the soaked vermicelli and stir to coat evenly with the spice paste. If the noodles seem dry, add about 1/2 cup of water as needed. Season with a little salt and sugar to taste.
- Finish with Bean Sprouts and Chives:
- Add bean sprouts and chives, stirring until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or fish sauce if needed.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Plate the noodles and garnish with shredded omelette, lime wedges, and fresh red chili slices for extra heat and color.
