This is absolutely fantastic! I made this to go with Juanita's Seafood Gumbo, as both recipes emailed to me by a friend. This goes with anything Oriental, and was superb with the Gumbo. I mean to say, it was precisely perfect with the Gumbo! I've never had jasmine rice in any form before, but this dish was very enjoyable. I can't wait to make this (and the Gumbo) at our Family Reunion next month! Thanks Fiendish_Dramaturgy! Keep submitting these kitchen treasures.

Enjoyed! A couple changes. I steep the tea bag right in the pot of water and rice for 5 minutes. I added all the ingredients from the start using 1/4 cup of butter not the 1/2 cup margarine. Skipped the 1/4 cup of water. No need to strain. Just stirred and served. Walla yummy goodness with ease.

Both my Wife and i love to cook, and we love to eat, so our premium membership with this site is a partnership made by the Gods. i am a short order cook by trade, and my Wife is a published movie reviewer. We both administrate our small non profit from home, which allows us to cook more often than other couples, but we still don't have a lot of time to prepare complicated meals.
RecipeZaar is the best for anyone who wants a quick recipe, or needs to learn about a complicated piece of kitchen equipment...and anything in between. :) We LOVE it here!
my sweet Wife has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. i'm still learning how to cook for Her, so that Her Forever will pace with mine.
i change my user name often. sorry, but i bore easily. oh, and just to warn people, i've donated my hair to locks for love, so it's short now ... VERY short. new photos will come soon.
