Vermicelli (Hot & Sour)

Vermicelli (Hot & Sour)

The taste of China’s spicy and sour vermicelli, often known as “酸辣粉” (suān là fěn) in Chinese, is a delightful combination of bold, spicy, and tangy flavours.

Spiciness is a prominent element in this vermicelli and the spiciness mainly comes from chili oil and dried chili peppers. The other element of this tasty vermicelli is the sourness.

This tangy component is achieved using ingredients like vinegar and pickled vegetables and it is essential for balancing the heat, creating a harmonious interplay between spiciness and sourness.
