How to Make Fluffy Rice with Vermicelli

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
• 1 cup vermicelli or very thin pasta, broken into small pieces
• Note:
• You can place a kitchen towel under the pot lid when you reduce the heat and cover the pot to get a better result.
• Use a pot with a thick base rather than a thin one to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Method

1. Wash the rice well and soak it for half an hour in lukewarm water, not hot.
2. Drain it well.
3. In a pot, put the vermicelli with oil or ghee and sauté it until it browns.
4. Add the drained rice and salt to taste and stir.
5. Add 1 cup of water and stir slightly.
6. Let the water come to a boil over high heat.
7. Reduce the heat immediately after it boils, cover the pot and leave it on very low heat until the rice is cooked; it will need 15 to 20 minutes depending on the amount of rice.
