With soup and chicken already on the menu, Joanna completes the meal with a carbohydrate dish. She made a Fried Magu Rice Vermicelli.
Joanna used a lot of chilis for this Fried Magu Rice Vermicelli. It was a little too spicy for some of the members but I love it.
Ingredients
- 1 pack Magu rice vermicelli
- 1/2 pound of beef
- 2 red and green chilies, julienned
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2-inch ginger, cut into slivers
- salt and soy sauce to taste
You can substitute the Magu Rice Vermicelli with any vermicelli, preferably from Jiang Xi.
Joanna is from the province of Jiang Xi. According to Joanna, the above vermicelli is produced in the Nancheng County, under Mountain Magu, the famous taoist mountain.
On the package:
It is said that after Fairy Maiden Ma became a fairy, she used the rice to make radiant silver thread rice flour noodles. Then Fairy Maiden Ma presented it to the mother of the King in the heaven, on her birthday. Ever since then, it has be contributed to the courts of different dynasty.
Magu rice flour noodles, are all made of Magu silver pearl rice, based on traditional craftsmanship. It is a green food. The product is pure white, tasty, soft but flexible, durably cooked and fit for being fried and coldly dressed with sauce.

Instructions
I just have one question what kind of chilis are the ones used in the recipe and can I substitute them for red and green bell peppers?
Hi Claudia, you certainly can substitute the chilis with red and green bell peppers which have less kick. Frankly, I seldom see red chilis like the ones Joanna used. The green ones are jalapeno.
Thnx a bunch.
