Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup dried vermicelli noodles, broken into roughly 1-inch pieces
2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter, and as soon as the butter melts, add the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the noodles, lower the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles are golden brown and the mixture gives off a nutty aroma, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stir to combine, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and salt. Raise the heat to high and bring to a full rolling boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice and vermicelli have absorbed all the liquid. Fluff with a fork and serve.
