Arroz con Fideos | Bil Shareyah [+ Video]
Description
Arroz con Fideos | Bil Shareyah involves toasting angel hair pasta in vegetable oil until golden to develop a nutty aroma and crisp texture. Uncooked rice is then stirred into the pot so each grain is coated with oil and toasted lightly. Pouring boiling chicken broth over the rice begins the simmer, infusing flavor as the rice absorbs the liquid and becomes tender. Regular stirring prevents sticking during the initial simmering phase. Additional oil is added near the end for richness, and the dish is finished by covering and gently steaming to achieve a firm yet tender texture.
The browned pasta strands offer a pleasantly crisp bite contrasting the softness of the rice. This dish serves as a versatile component alongside protein-rich mains like meats or seafood and traditional side beans, making for a balanced meal.
The broth should be salted prior to use according to taste, as it seasons the rice. Cover tightly when simmering to trap steam and ensure even cooking. Fluff the rice gently before serving to separate grains and distribute the enriched oil coating.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil (peanut, corn or soy), divided
- ½ cup angel hair pasta slightly crushed
