Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan, and quickly fry the sliced garlic and ginger. Add the meat and chilli. Stir for a minute or so, then add the tomatoes. Cover the wok or pan, simmer for 4 minutes, uncover and add the soya sauce. Simmer for 1 to 2 minute longer before you add the vermicelli, and finally increase the heat for a few seconds and stir. Serve immediately.
