Aroz Mofalfal

2 cups Rice (rinsed and drained) (long rice)

2 cups Boiled water

1/4 cup Vermicide noodles, very thin, broken to small pieces

2 tablespoons Butter

1/8 teaspoon Salt

Fry vermicide noodles with butter till slightly brown.

Add boiling water and salt. Stir till boiling.

Add rice slowly. Let it boil before covering. Stir.

Put a thin layer of tin under the pan to prevent burning. Reduce heat to low and leave to cook for 30 minutes.

Open the pan. Stir the top and see if rice is done. If rice is still a little hard, cover and cook longer.
