Wise continued guidance!

Raw vermicelli always burns very quickly if you fry it from the pack uncooked. It has no moisture and can only burn and crisp. You are further crisping and drying out an already dried product.

When frying noodle in most other cuisines one fries cooked pasta and that gives a degree of moisture and surface caramelisation of surface sugars.

Your warnings are spot on and as with everything interweb the OP will read all guidance and do as they wish!
