Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 They are more or less for a garnish. I wouldn't make a meal of fried rick stick noodles. I usually just fry a few to garnish a dish. Very blah huh? LOL Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just fry a few to garnish a dish. Not really. Although maybe *you* wouldn't make a whole meal of crispy deep-fried noodles, there are dishes which use them entirely, rather than as a garnish, for the noodle part of the dish. I mentioned mee krob (Thai sweet-sour-salt crispy noodle dish), which would not be the whole meal but would be one dish out of several, in the usual asian manner, served up for a meal. You know this dish? Oh, you have to try it at least once! LOL These are rice stick noodles, deep fried, drained, and then the other bits and pieces (depending on whether it's veggie or carnivore) are cooked, sauced, etc., and served mixed with and over the noodles. Agreed, in many stir-fried dishes of Chinese provenance the crispy deep-fried noodles are used as a garnish only. That's different ;-) And for a garnish? Well, they look nice, they crunch nicely, and they're fun. I can give them a big miss, but that's a matter of the deep frying and my way of avoiding it.
