2 Tbs. vegetable oil
3/4 c. vermicelli noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/2 large tomato, chopped

Heat the oil in a deep skillet and saute the vermicelli until it's golden-brown. Stir in the garlic, onion, and tomato. Saute for half a minute. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Add cilantro. Simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed. Do not cover. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
