Loved it! After tasting, I wish I had added just a bit of salt to it, and I did sprinkle some parsley on top to look pretty. It is indeed a lovely dish to serve for guests with very little work involved. Thanks for posting 5th Course! Made for Potluck Tag, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

This rice was really nice and very simple to put together. My family enjoyed it with some marinated (Soy Sauce Marinade) fried tofu. Thanks! Made for New Zaar Tag 2008.
