Raw material preparation

Glass noodles: Soak in cold water for 15-20 minutes until soft, then drain. Mix the noodles with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and a little soy sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking together and to make them more flavorful when stir-fried.

Crab meat: Steam the crab until cooked, then separate the meat and crab fat.

Vegetables: All mushrooms, carrots, onions are prepared and sliced as above.

Chicken eggs: beat eggs, fry thinly, slice into strips to stir-fry or sprinkle on top at the end.

How to prepare

Stir-fry crab meat:

Saute minced onion and garlic with a little cooking oil. Add crab meat and crab fat, season with a little fish sauce, pepper, and sugar for flavor. Saute for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then scoop out and set aside.

Stir-fry vegetables:

Using a large pan, saute garlic until fragrant, add carrots, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and onions and stir-fry until cooked. Season with a little seasoning and pepper to taste, then set aside in the pan.

Stir-fried vermicelli

Add the vermicelli to the vegetable pan, mix well over medium heat, stir quickly. Season with the spice mixture: 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, ½ teaspoon sugar, pepper, a little sesame oil. You can add a few tablespoons of crab broth (if available) to make the vermicelli softer, sweeter and more fragrant. When the vermicelli starts to firm up, add the stir-fried crab meat and stir well.

Finally add fried eggs, green onions, Vietnamese coriander, stir gently and turn off the heat.

Place the noodles on a plate, sprinkle with ground pepper, sliced chili, coriander and roasted peanuts (if desired).

Serve with chili sauce mixed with soy sauce or fish sauce with garlic and chili if you want it more flavorful.

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 to make the dish more luxurious, you can add salted crab eggs or shrimp.
