My chinese collegue who gave me this recipe said that this is one of her favourites.This is the  first time I have tried out chinese cooking.Oh! i couldn't believe that it turned out so well and tasty. My husband is thankful to Instructables because he gets  delicious food after I joined this lovely site.Actually it is he who does most of the cooking at home as kitchen is not my favourite place.BUT now I spend more time in the kitchen trying out different dishes for the sake of instructables. :D

Place the vermicelli  noodles in a large plastic bag and break them into small handful size pieces .( Doing this in the bag  helps stop them spreading around your kitchen)
Heat about 5 cm of oil in a large pot or a wok ( A wok is very good for this )When the oil is hot enough throw in the noodles  one handful at a time and cook until they are puffed.Remove cook noodles and drain the oil on paper towels.The noodle can be cooked up to 1 hour in advance.

Prepare Omelet

Beat the two eggs together and make a thin omelet.I put both eggs together and it was a bit too thick,so you could make the omelet one by one or use a large frying pan. Roll the omelet in the pan itself. Once it is  cooled cut into narrow slices.

Cut & Chop

Skin the peanuts and chop them into small bits and pieces.Sorry I forgot to click a picture of the chopped peanuts.
Spring onions should be thinly sliced into lengthwise(about a finger size) Fresh red/green  chillies are an option.I like my food to be a little bit hot so in all my cookings it is added.If you want to use, cut the chillies also in to lengthwise.
