Simple Vermicelli

Awww its getting hotter and hotter out here.., And I tend to get so irritated in this season. Nowadays I'm trying to skip staying in the kitchen for too long. So heres a dish which would get done in a jiffy.., and its also very tasty.Vermicelli can be prepared in many ways. You can add in Veggies like potatoes and tomatoes to make a Veggie Vermicelli., You can add pieces of boiled egg and some Chinese sauces to make it a Chinese Vermicelli.., but I love the simple Vermicelli as the flavor of the vermicelli is not over shadowed by the Veggies or the spices.. :) So here goes the recipe of the Simple Vermicelli...
