炒米粉是台灣道地的小吃，

也是兒時記憶美好的一部份⋯

記得有一次

爸媽帶我去舅舅家玩。

舅母準備了一大盤

像座小山形狀似的炒米粉。

生平第一次看到如此繽紛美食。

平凡的線條

居然可以編織出多姿多采。

米粉的美味爽口

更是令人永難忘懐。

只要看到炒米粉

就會想到舅媽的好手藝。

想吃炒米粉時

我會找回那遙遠的記憶。

用現成的食材（ 家中經常有的

大白菜，芹菜，香菇，小蕃茄 ）

以自己獨特極簡方式

做這一道炒米粉。

淡淡的香味中

有濃濃的鄉愁。

Fried rice vermicelli 

is Taiwanese authentic snack.  

It’s also part of my wonderful memory 

of childhood…

I remember once,

my parents took me to see 

the family of my uncle.

My aunt placed a large dish of 

fried rice vermicelli, 

Looked like a small mountain,

so beautiful and fantastic.

Unforgettable richly flavoured snack.

Whenever I see the snack fried rice vermicelli

I think of her workmanship.

If I have a craving for the fried rice vermicelli, 

I will retrieve the distant memory.

Utilization whatever is available 

( Usually, have cabbage, celery, chise mushroom, small tomato... )

in my own particular simple way

to make it.

Delicate fragrance 

with a deep homesickness.
