Asparagus and mushrooms braised vermicelli
During the break, I cleaned up the items in the kitchen and found a bag of sweet potato vermicelli that had been left in it for a long time, which immediately aroused my desire to eat. This kind of vermicelli is very resistant to boiling and has a good taste. It is best to make northern pork and sauerkraut stewed vermicelli in winter. It is summer now, so I'd better take some existing ingredients to make it!

The one I made today uses fresh asparagus as a side dish, and adds some dried mushrooms. It will taste very good when cooked, so it is called "Asparagus and Mushroom Braised Powder Strips".

    1. It is best to use sweet potato noodles for this dish; they withstand cooking well, have a smooth texture, and do not easily turn into a glue-like consistency, keeping the noodles distinct and smooth. 2. Adding three to five small red chili peppers is sufficient; a mild spicy sensation is enough. If you add too many, it will become too spicy, which will spoil the flavor. 3. When braising, the amount of sauce must be well controlled. If there is too little soup, the noodles will feel too hard; if there is too much soup and it simmers for too long, the dish will not look clean and refreshing. 4. Be sure to braise the pork strips until they are thoroughly cooked and tender first, then add the noodles to reduce the sauce. Only in this way can you achieve the excellent result of soft, tender meat and smooth, fragrant noodles.
