In a medium non-stick cooking pot, heat the olive oil on medium-high. Add the vermicelli and continuously stir to toast it evenly. Vermicelli should turn a nice golden brown, but watch carefully not to over-brown or burn it (If it burns, you must throw the vermicelli away and start over).
Add the rice and continue to stir so that the rice will be well-coated with the olive oil. Season with salt.
Now add 3 1/2 cups of water and bring it to a boil until the water significantly reduces.Turn the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes on low. Once fully cooked, turn the heat off and leave the rice undisturbed in it’s cooking pot for 5-10 minutes, then uncover and fluff with a fork.
