How to Make Arabic Rice
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
- Add the rice to the same saucepan and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly fragrant.
- Stir in the salt. Gradually pour in the hot chicken broth (or water), stirring once to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, gently incorporating the crispy vermicelli. Serve hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite stew, grilled meats, or any main course.
