Ingredients for Arabian Rice Aroz Mofalfal

  • Long Grain Rice
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • Vermicelli
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Arabian Rice Aroz Mofalfal

  1. Break 1/2 cup of vermicelli noodles into small pieces.
  2. 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).
  3. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  5. Gently stir in 1 cup of rinsed long-grain rice (Basmati recommended).
  6. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Place a thin layer of tin foil under the saucepan to prevent burning.
  8. 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.
  9. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  10. Gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  11. Serve hot with your favorite vegetables or accompaniments.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
