Made this for Spring PAC 2013 and this was a tasty dish. I did make the rice as instructed early so the rice had time to cool and the dish went together faster. I have never used bay leaf in my water so this was something new and good! Next time I might add more vegetables but I served this with recipe#494500#494500 and it went great. Thank you for posting.

This recipe was kind of hard for me to rate. I chose it because I was really intrigued by cooking the rice with the bay leaves. I needed to tweak this recipe to get it to work for me though. I went ahead and cooked the rice with the bay leaves, I don't think they would have offered much flavor otherwise. I also added more veggies for flavor and also had to add quite a bit more soy sauce. I guess I really didn't know what to expect from this recipe or how it should be served, either as a main dish or a side, so I kind of winged it and liked the end result. I love the idea of cooking the rice with the bay leaves and I'll be doing that again for sure. Thanks for posting the recipe.
