  1. We've made this rice several times during ZWT6. Dh always asks for it. This recipe didn't work out as well as another one I made. It needed more vermicelli and double amount of water. Taste was improved by using a chicken cube.It was delicious.
     
  2. When I added the rice, I found that it needed more water. So I added more, almost 2 cups. I was afraid it would stick to the pan. The taste is great like that. And I didn't use salt. I may also use more vermicelli next time as I don't think there was enough. Thanks Sage :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWt
     
  3. I made half the recipe for a quick and easy side dish. Served with Recipe #423500 and Recipe #228801 for a light and satisfying supper.Thanks for posting Sage. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.
     
  4. I made this dish mainly because I've always done it with the family's recipe and this one was different and had a different cooking method. I did add more vermicelli because I really like it, and since after the water was added it looked like it was too little, I added about 1/3 cup more, and a bit more salt as well. I didn't put the foil under my pan because it was thick-bottomed. The end result was pretty good, it would go nicely with a spicy, flavorful meal, but for a more understated dinner, it would be a little bland. I served it with Recipe #399253. Thank you for posting. Made for Swizzle Chicks and ZWT 6.
     
  5. A truly delightful dish: so few ingredients, so simple to make and so delicious. A great accompaniment to any meat or vegetable dish. Guided by Chef floWer's advice, I added a bit more water, but other than that, I made this exactly to the recipe. Made for EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! It's a recipe I'll be making again and again! Thank you for sharing it, Sage!
