This is a simple rice/noodle dish, but very tasty and easy. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter, but I usually use half of that. I have made this so often that I just eyeball the amount of butter and noodles used. Noodles will soften up better if they are added to the rice mixture while there is still some liquid there. I usually start browning the noodles about 5-10 minutes after starting the rice to boil. The noodles will absorb what liquid remains, especially after sitting ten minutes or so.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup rice
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup butter (I usually use half this amount)
1/2 cup slightly broken up skinny noodles (I use Muellers fine noodles)

Steps:

  • Combine water, rice and bouillon cubes in pot; bring to a boil.
  • Put on low heat, cover and simmer.
  • When the water is almost all absorbed into the rice, then in a different pan, melt the butter and add the broken up noodles.
  • Brown the noodles, stirring constantly under medium heat, until lightly browned.
  • Add to the rice mixture, remove from heat, and let sit (covered) for 10 minutes.
