The Perfect Egyptian Rice with Vermicelli image

Egyptian rice is a very short grain rice, grown in Egypt. It is not cooked the same way as medium or long grain rice. When cooked, it is supposed to have a fluffy texture, not at all sticky.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup 1/2-inch long vermicelli
1 cup Egyptian rice (short-grain rice)
salt to taste
