This is a delicious rice. It was the perfect accompaniment to our beef bulgogi. I made as written except used a bit more onion. We will definitely make again.

I doubled this to serve a bunch of people. I really liked the sesame seeds, and I loved that it baked in the oven. I discovered in the process of making it that I was out of beef bouillon paste (that I thought I had on hand to make stock with). I decided to use chicken broth, but I only had about 1 c. left. So as a result, the finished dish needed salt. I think next time I will make this in my Dutch oven so as to dirty only one pot.

This is our new favorite rice dish!! I made some adjustments for our taste and what we had in the pantry, like using brown rice and no-chicken broth. What a delicious recipe. Thank you!
