Several suggestions, compliments of my Armenian grandmothers and also Andrew Janjigian of Cooks Illustrated: white rice needs to be soaked in hot water, stirred to release the starch, and rinsed several (sometimes 4 or 5) times until the water runs clear. After you have brought the rice to a boil, reduced the heat and simmered until done, remove from the heat and put a clean kitchen towel between the pot and the lid to absorb the condensation. After 15 minutes, stir and serve.
The pilaf I always had was made with butter, vermicelli, chicken broth (Swansons) and parboiled rice (Bens, formerly Uncle Ben's)
I’ve been cooking this rice/noodle dish for 30 years and it is still a family favourite. Love it
This is a nice variation on plain rice. I browned the egg noodles as it suggested and added rice. I found that it needed 2 cups of broth for the rice to soften. I added cumin to go with my entree but any combination of herbs and spices will work.
