Ingredients
1
cup
long-grain white rice
2
tbsp
olive oil
2
cloves
garlic
(crushed)
1/2
cup
vermicelli (angel-hair) noodles
2 1/4
cup
boiling water
1
tsp
salt
Instructions
Rinse the rice in a strainer, under running water, until the water runs clear. Set the rice to drain.
Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the noodles and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring and watching carefully that they don’t burn.
As soon as the noodles have darkened, add the water. Cook for 3 minutes, uncovered.
Add the rice, garlic and salt. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pan and lower the heat as low as possible. Cook 15 minutes.
You may serve right away, or steam the rice with the kitchen towel method. Either way, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
