Break vermicelli into small pieces. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Stir in rice and vermicelli; cook, stirring frequently, until vermicelli is lightly browned. Add chicken broth and spices. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cover pan. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until rice is just a bit too soupy to eat. Allow to sit covered for 5 minutes. |
