Cooking Instructions
Toast the Vermicelli
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and toast them until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Rice and Water
Once the vermicelli is toasted, add the basmati rice to the skillet. Stir for an additional 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in the water and add salt and black pepper.
Cook the Rice
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
