Pour oil into a frying pan and place it over medium heat. Heat the oil for a few minutes. Place vermicelli in the pan. The so-called “Spider Web” is best suited for this dish. It is usually made from durum wheat flour, which helps it subsequently remain dense and not boil over or stick together. You can replace vegetable oil with butter, it will give a creamy taste, but will increase the number of calories.
