Hello! Dear readers and food lovers, as always a pleasure to greet you. Today I would like to share with you through the community of Hive account@hivefood, a simple recipe that we can all make at home, since these ingredients are usually in our pantry and allow us to give a rich and special flavor to the food that is part of our everyday menu.

Today I will prepare a delicious rice with noodles. This dish is originally from the Middle East and North Africa (Egypt); however, we have integrated it into the Venezuelan cuisine giving it that touch that characterizes our gastronomy. This is a dish that has different textures, colors and a special flavor, since everything that is prepared with love is divine. In addition, we can accompany it with the garnish that we like and in this case, I wanted to combine it with a delicious salad that my mom helped me prepare, since the rice also has chicken and bacon.

Comencemos...

I particularly like food to have a spicy touch and look pretty, because if we see a dish that looks good, it will immediately whet our appetite and make us want to try it. So without further ado, I'll show you how I make this tasty rice with noodles, chicken and bacon.

Let's start...

Para preparar nuestro arroz con fideos necesitaremos los siguientes ingredientes:

To prepare our rice with noodles we will need the following ingredients:

First wash the chili peppers, bell pepper, scallion and celery. Then we proceed to cut them into squares (bronoise), grate the ginger and set aside. After this, we will cut the bacon and the chicken also in cubes. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, soy sauce, paprika and oregano.

Put a hot frying pan and add the noodles to toast them. When they are golden brown, remove them. In the same pan, add a little oil with the chicken and bacon to seal them and remove them.

Now, we will sauté the seasonings. First we will add the onion and then, we will incorporate the other seasonings so that each one releases its flavors.

Once the dressings are ready, add the chicken and bacon so that they can take on the flavors. We also take the opportunity to rectify the flavors, adding a touch of salt, pepper, paprika, oregano. Stir to integrate everything and proceed to add the 2 cups of rice with the noodles. With a fork we are going to unite everything and we add 4 cups of chicken broth and the bay leaves. We wait a few minutes, cover and let it cook at medium-low flame for about 30 minutes approximately. Check and when it is ready, turn it off and let it rest.

Wash the tomatoes, carrots and lettuce. Place the lettuce in a bowl with equal parts water and vinegar, to ensure the elimination of any microbial agent. Let it stand for about 3 minutes and drain. Chop the onion and tomatoes, grate the carrot and put everything together with the lettuce. Make a dressing with mustard, mayonnaise, honey, pepper and salt to taste.

We proceed to serve the rice in a shallow dish with a few slices of paprika and our salad. This way we have a delicious lunch which we can enjoy and make any day of the week.

Thank you for visiting my blog and reading this recipe that I have made with a lot of love to share with you. I hope to be here again soon with another delicious and practical recipe hehe. Greetings and a hug!
