Cooking Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Fluff and Serve

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
