Please remember as with all recipes you can change it to how your family prefers it. This may not be exactly how Hispanics do it, but it's what our family likes. You can play around with spices or different ingredients. Also, my sister Veronica makes this with fresh tomatoes and blends it. However, I've found tomato sauce tastes so close that I just prefer to use that and save some time. With a 5 year old and 8 month old I don't have lots of free time! Fast and easy is what I typically lean towards!
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg vermicelli noodles (I find them at Walmart or Dillons in the Mexican food section)
- About 3/4 tsp Adobo (The only location I know for sure where to get this is on East 6th street at a Mexican store called "El Rodeo." I send my husband in there since he's fluent in Spanish. :)
- About 3 cups water
- 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
- Canola or vegetable oil
1) Heat your pan over medium heat. Add oil to coat the bottom.
2) Slightly fry your noodles. Takes a couple minutes or so.
3) After the noodles are fried, add your water FIRST. I've learned the hard way that you shouldn't add the tomato sauce to a hot pan because it splatters everywhere!
4) Then add your tomato sauce right after the water.
5) Add seasonings, stir, and lower your heat to med-low. Stir every 2-3 minutes.
6) Cook until the noodles are soft. This takes about 10 minutes or so.
Hope your family loves this as much as mine!
