Directions

Prep 5 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the dry egg noodles and cook, stirring, until golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes, adjusting heat to avoid burning as needed.

  2. 2

    Stir in the rice to coat it evenly with the butter, pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover tightly, and cook without lifting the lid until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 to 22 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
