In a large bowl, combine the pre-cooked cornmeal and salt.
Gradually add the water while mixing with your hands until a dough forms.
Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb the water.
Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the arepas in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the arepas from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your traditional Venezuelan arepas!
