Instructions

Step 1

Start by washing the rice several times until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a non-stick pot, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat. Then add the vermicelli noodles and cook until golden brown. Ensure you stir constantly as they tend to burn quickly. This should take 5-7 minutes

Step 3

Once they are a golden brown, add the drained rice, the salt, and the stock cube. Stir together for for a few minutes so the rice grains are coated in the oil

Step 4

Add the water, mix well, and allow it to come to a boil for a few minutes.

Step 5

Once it starts to boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Leave it undisturbed for 20 minutes

Step 6

Once 20 minutes is up, turn off the heat and keep the pot covered for another 5 minutes

Step 7

Fluff with a fork and serve with some fresh parsley and toasted nuts if desired
