Cold Noodles

So I ran out of udon but I wanted to have some cold noodles so bad. I looked around the kitchen and I found some flat vermicelli and I thought, hmm, these..... should work. You can find these noodles in Asian isles in dry packs. It says vermicelli but they're not like the Vietnamese pho, there are actually several different kinds. There are thin ones where you usually have them stir fried?? with ground pork and mushrooms and shallots, the flat ones that I used I think are usually cooked in soup.


See the difference? Anyway, so I tried cooking and chilling it the same way I did with the udon, but I only had green onions to spare this time, which was fine for me. I also threw in a raw egg because again, I saw on that "Dochi" show the Japanese eat raw egg mixed with rice and it looked good and I don't mind the taste of raw egg, ha! The result was.... not bad, but not as good as cold udon though. And I also found out later that you could eat the egg yolk raw but not the egg white but I forget why...
