How to Make Armenian Rice And Noodles

  1. Break egg noodles into smaller pieces (about 2-inch lengths).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium-large saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the broken egg noodles and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly softened.
  4. Add 1 cup long-grain rice, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring a few times to prevent sticking.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 14 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and fluff the rice and noodles gently with a fork.
  8. Cover the saucepan and let it steam for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
