How to Make Arabian Rice Aroz Mofalfal
- Break 1/2 cup of vermicelli noodles into small pieces.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and fry until lightly golden brown, stirring frequently (about 2-3 minutes).
- Pour in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Gently stir in 1 cup of rinsed long-grain rice (Basmati recommended).
- Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Place a thin layer of tin foil under the saucepan to prevent burning.
- Cover the saucepan tightly and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
