My father likes to tell this tale of when he made fried spaghetti because he was a poor student and his buddy liked it so much that he asked how to make them. My father replied “Like normal spaghetti. But you fry them in a pan.”

That’s what he did. Instead of cooking he fried the dry spaghetti in a pan.

My dad tried frying frozen peas once. Turned the kitchen into Viet goddamn Nam. I still have flashbacks.

  I actually love frozen peas because they can easily be thrown into whatever I’m currently making. Especially something like fried rice.
  
  Of course, just frying them alone is probably pretty difficult.

    It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s easy to drop frozen peas in hot oil. It’s just that doing so would explode hot oil (and peas) all over yourself and your kitchen.

Going in another direction, but ramen is great if you fry it after boiling it. Just drain the water (save it if it’s a broth type as you can add the noodles back after frying), then drop them in a pan with heated oil, fry them for a few minutes, just to the point where the noodles on the bottom start to burn a bit (don’t stir them before this but do stir after to interrupt the burning) and your ramen will have a satisfying crunch.

Italians also do it. Although they put tomatoes in and smash them first.
