Ruz Ma Shayreeyeh (Vermicelli Rice)
1 1/4 cup Rice
1/2 cup Fideo vermicelli
2 tbsp Butter or olive oil
2 2/3 cup Water or chicken broth
Salt
"Syrians love this handsome rice dish with its tiny golden brown
noodles that usually accompanies the wide variety of Levantine
tomato-based vegetable stews. In Egypt, it's the rice served with
Mlookheeyeh Soup, the national broth thick with fresh greens and
herbs. Across the Arab world, vermicelli rice is a simple favorite
usually prepared with fat-grained Egyptian rice or whatever
medium-grained rice is available. Tossing the grain in a little
butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to keep the kernels from
sticking together. When chicken broth or bouillon is used instead of
water, you have the original Middle Eastern specialty that inspired
the packaged mix known as Rice-A-Roni."
1. Egyptian short-grained rice requires at least 1/2 hour of
presoaking. Some cooks rinse it until the water runs relatively
clear, soak it for up to 2 hours, and rinse it again several times
before cooking. Converted rice is ready to use.
2. Crush the noodles between your hands to break them into pieces
about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long. Saute them in the butter or oil over
medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are evenly golden brown.
Add the rice and stir-fry until the grains are all coated and
glistening.
3. Pour on the water or broth, add the salt, and stir. Bring to a
boil.
4. When the water level is equal to that of the rice, and little
bubbly holes have appeared in the rice, cover and reduce the heat.
Simmer until done. The total cooking time is about 25 minutes.

Dieting tips
If you enjoy your food, but want to shed a few kilos and improve your all round condition, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should make plans to start a thoughtfully planned healthy-minded weight loss system. If possible, this should contain 5 measures of fruit and vegetables every day and also contain the correct fusion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
When selecting food, dieters usually become obsessed with supermarket and brand name food items known as 'low-fat'. This is most certainly a miscalculation, in that a food might just be low in fat content, but also contain excess calories and carbs.
When planning a nutrition system, it is important to make sure you regulate your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
