In a cooking pot, fry the vermicelli with the vegetable oil on medium heat until they turn light golden in color.

Strain the rice and add it to the vermicelli. Stir for 2 min.

Add the water and salt, cover and put on medium heat until the water starts boiling then reduce the heat to minimum.

Let it simmer over low heat for 20 min or until rice is cooked. The rice is ready when all water has evaporated.
