Vermicelli is a kind of food that most people like to eat, especially for cooking hot pot, which is even more perfect. I remember there is a famous dish in the northeast, pork stewed vermicelli, and I will never forget the smooth taste. Twenty years ago, there were many vendors selling vermicelli along the street, which was processed in a small workshop, but the quality and taste were not to be said. It was very delicious, cooked for a long time and played smoothly. Save it for the winter and eat it slowly. Now people don't have the energy, so they can buy it in the vegetable market. Although it is convenient, it also has a disadvantage. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false vermicelli. How to distinguish between true and false vermicelli?
