Vermicelli Rice
What you need
- 1 cup rice
- a handful of vermicelli
- butter
- 2 cups stock
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Fry the broken vermicelli in butter until properly golden, add the rice, then the hot stock. Cover, cook low fifteen minutes, rest ten.
How it feels to make
Watching the little noodles turn from pale to toasted gold is the whole trick and you can't hurry it.
Mom wrote on the back
Brown the vermicelli first and watch it. It goes from gold to burnt in ten seconds.
