Directions The Perfect Egyptian Rice with Vermicelli
Directions
-
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add vermicelli, cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour in rice and salt, stir until coated with oil.
Reduce heat to low. Cook the rice mixture, stirring constantly, until rice turns pasty white, 3 to 5 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
Stir water into the rice mixture. Cover, cook until most of the water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat, let sit until remaining water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
