To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the rice and vermicelli packet with water and a fat like butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This process usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You can stir in additional ingredients like cooked chicken or vegetables during the last few minutes of cooking.
