Arabic Butter Rice with Vermicelli
A staple in Jordanian cuisine, this fragrant and fluffy rice dish is cooked with butter and toasted vermicelli noodles, offering a simple yet deeply satisfying flavor. It's the perfect accompaniment to a variety of main courses.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 400 g White rice (Basmati or Jasmine)(about 2 cups)
- 100 g Vermicelli noodles(about 1 cup, broken into small pieces)
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 700 ml Water or Chicken/Vegetable Broth(about 3 cups)
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 1 piece Stock cube (optional)(if using water instead of broth)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Rinse the rice under cold running water several times until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the broken vermicelli noodles and toast, stirring constantly, until they turn a light golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the vermicelli. Stir and toast for another minute to combine the flavors.
- 4
If using a stock cube, dissolve it in the hot water or broth. Pour the water or broth into the saucepan. Add the salt. Stir to combine.
- 5
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
- 6
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
