Pork and bean sprouts stewed with vermicelli
Overview
I have always preferred eating soybean sprouts, especially the soybean sprouts stewed with vermicelli are particularly delicious. Of course, pork cannot be omitted. The fat in the pork must be used to make the bean sprouts and vermicelli taste more fragrant. Maybe it is due to genetics, but now my eldest daughter also likes to eat this pork and bean sprouts stewed vermicelli. She saw a new batch of sweet potato vermicelli in the supermarket two days ago, so she bought a big handful, which is enough to stew it several times. As a person from the north, this kind of stew is definitely a common dish on the dining table. When I was young, my mother would often make a pot of stew like this and eat a lot with steamed buns or rice. Especially the vermicelli, which is smooth, soft, elastic and chewy, and is especially fragrant because it is soaked in the fat of the pork and the vegetable soup of the stew.

The vermicelli becomes soft when heated, bring to a boil over high heat and then turn to medium-low heat;
-
Add an appropriate amount of salt and five-spice powder to taste, cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat until the vermicelli is cooked; because the vermicelli is sticky, you need to open the lid and stir the bottom of the pot with a spatula to check whether there is enough water;

The vermicelli is soft, glutinous and smooth, soaked in gravy, especially delicious. You can also soak the vermicelli in advance before putting it in the pot, which will save time in the pot. However, although this method of putting dry vermicelli into the pot takes a little longer, it is more delicious.
