| 2 cups jasmine rice | |
| 1 cup vermicelli noodles | |
| 4 cups warm water or broth | |
| 1 tablespoon olive oil | |
| 1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter | |
| Dash of salt |
Preparation
1
Thoroughly wash the rice. Soak the rice with room temperature water for at least 20 minutes before cooking. Drain the rice and have it ready before you start the next step.
2
Add the vermicelli noodles and stir them frequently so it does not burn. TIP: It will brown quickly, so make sure you closely watch the stove.
Add olive oil and ghee or butter to the pot you will cook your rice. Let it melt before you toast the vermicelli noodles.
3
If the noodles are ready, could you quickly add the rice? Season the rice with salt and mix it with a fork.
Add the water depending on the amount of soaked rice you use. I used 2 cups of water for every cup of rice. I bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and lower the heat. The rice should simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, and try not to open the pot while cooking.
4
When it’s done, please turn off the heat and let it sit for another 10 minutes to allow the steam to work its magic.
Now your vermicelli rice is done! Uncover the pot and fluff the rice with a fork. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
How to Store Leftover Rice with Vermicelli
Leftover rice should be stored in an air-tight container, and it can be kept in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. To reheat the rice, splash some water on top of the rice and place a damp paper towel over the bowl before microwaving to keep the moisture of the rice. Microwave the rice for 20-30 seconds at a time until the rice is warm. You can also heat the rice by putting it in a pan and splashing some water over it. It is crucial to add water to your rice to keep the texture light and fluffy.
