Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add vermicelli, stirring constantly cook vermicelli until golden brown (do not burn).
  2. Turn heat to low and add the rice and salt, stirring to coat with oil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Rice will go from clear to white in color.
  3. Add hot water. Cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and leave covered for about 5 more minutes. Fluff rice with fork.

Notes

  • For leftovers, let the rice cool completely and transfer to an airtight container or sealable bag and squeeze out excess air. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, let come to room temp, add a tablespoon of water, cover and steam in microwave for 2-3 minutes on high heat. Fluff with fork and enjoy.
