Vermicelli

Also called: Shaciiriyo (Soomaali) · Vermicelles (Français) · شعيرية (العربية)

Good to know

Buy wheat vermicelli, not rice noodles, which look similar. Middle Eastern grocers sell it pre-cut into short pieces, handy for rice; long nests can be broken by hand, or use capellini. Toast it in a little oil until golden for the best flavour.
