Tips from a veteran chef

Do not soak the vermicelli for too long to avoid breaking when stir-frying. Stir-fry the vermicelli last, over medium heat and stir quickly to avoid sticking.

Do not stir-fry the crab meat for too long, it will dry out and lose its sweetness. Add sesame oil and soy sauce to the vermicelli before stir-frying to prevent the noodles from sticking together and give it a light Asian-style aroma.

If you want the dish to be more luxurious, you can add salted crab eggs or shrimp.
