A Homemade San Francisco Treat: Chicken Vermicelli Rice

Description

Years ago, I came up with my clone of a dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup white rice
  • ¼ cup broken pieces vermicelli pasta
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook rice and vermicelli in hot butter until browned
  2. about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour water over rice mixture. Stir in chicken bouillon
  4. parsley
  5. garlic powder
  6. and onion powder; bring to a boil.
  7. Cover the saucepan
  8. reduce heat to low
  9. and cook until water is absorbed
  10. about 25 minutes.
