I love this simple side dish with a protein and veggie. I feel like it rounds out my plate. If you can't find roasted vermicelli, then simply use regular vermicelli, add it to a pan and roast it until it becomes slightly browned. Do this before you add it to the dish to add that nice roasted flavor.
Vermicelli can be found in the pasta aisle at the grocery store.
Add cooked, chopped vegetables of choice to this dish to make it a great vegetarian meal.
