Fideos are a Mexican wheat noodle, like pasta. They typically come rolled up in little bundles (bottom picture)and are often sauteed until golden (top)and then cooked with broth. Sometimes they are added raw and cooked in the soup itself. In recipes calling for fideos, vermicelli or thin spaghetti is a good substitute.
Three ounces of fideos is a reasonable serving for one person. I get them in 12 ounce packages at the hispanic market for 75 cents a package, or less on sale.
