Rice Sharia– Rice with fried noodles

by Lynz Real Cooking on September 8, 2015

This is a common rice served in the Middle East that is usually served with a saucy dish. I watched my mother in law as well as many friends make it and this is how I make it.

Ingredients

2 cups Basmati rice

1 cup sharia noodles, small pieces of vermicelli noodles broken up. In Saudi they have little packages of these type of noodles. I found them at an Arabic food store.  My mother in law just broke the noodles up herself.

some olive oil

4 1/2 cups of water

1 tsp. salt or salt to taste

Directions

Using a large pan, put olive oil in pan, add noodles. Fry the noodles being careful not to burn. Stir noodles around to brown them.

When they are done, add water and salt. Bring to a boil, follow package instructions for preparing rice for cooking. Also, if you are using a rice other than Basmati, follow package instructions for cooking and amount of water. Add rice to boiling water, cook 5 minutes on high, then cover rice and turn to medium, cook 10 minutes, turn to low, cook 10 more minutes until done. Stir rice gently so it does not stick.

    I love rice! The little crunch sounds like a fun way to mix it up!

            Let me rephrase that statement, anything cool that doesn’t have yogurt of any sort in it… You can drive me away with yogurt…

    I’ve had something like this with chicken chunks mixed in. Would that work?

    This is one of those recipes that I have seen in a mix or out of a box but never homemade. Thank you!

    This sounds great for when you’re bored of just rice! My boyfriend is obsessed with finding a dish he ate in Egypt, it was a mix of rice, noodles and lentils, he said they ate it with almost every meal. Do you have any idea what it could be? I’d love to make it for him someday.

    A must try! Reminiscent of Rice a Roni, but no need for a box! Brilliant!

    Interesting combo! I have never tried a mix of rice and noddles together. I think it will create quite an interesting texture 😉

    This looks fascinating. I love that you address the prospect of using a rice other than basmati…although I do love basmati also.
