Arroz con Fideos | Bil Shareyah [+ Video]
Arroz con Fideos is a rice dish cooked with angel hair pasta and chicken broth to create a fragrant, lightly toasted grain with a tender center. The pasta is browned first in hot oil, adding a subtle nutty flavor and textural contrast. Cooking the rice in boiling broth ensures it absorbs savory richness while simmering gently to a fluffy finish. This technique yields an aromatic and inviting side dish that complements meats, seafood, and beans.

2. Cooking the rice
- Stir in the rice, mix until all the rice is coated with oil. Pour in the boiling broth to the rice and stir. Simmer over medium heat. Stir regularly to prevent the rice from sticking. When almost all the liquid has evaporated, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir, add the remaining oil, stir again and cover with the lid. Simmer 5 more minutes over very low heat. Try the rice, it should be firm but tender inside. If necessary, cover and simmer another 5 minutes over very low heat.
3. Serving
- Fluff rice and serve warm. Best served with meat (or seafood), a side dish and beans.
Notes
- Use broth salted to taste before adding to the rice to control overall seasoning.
- Cover tightly during final simmer to retain steam and cook rice evenly.
- Fluff rice gently before serving to separate grains and distribute oil.
- Serve warm, paired with meats, seafood, or beans for a complete meal.
