Fairy Godmother Rice

Submitted by Pinay0618

"I found this recipe at allrecipes and, of course, was intrigued. My mother is Filipino - in a Filipino household you do NOT "mess" with the rice! Always white, always steamed - and if you have leftovers, sometimes you get to have fried rice. SOMETIMES. (And no, Mom, I wouldn't dare use instant rice, I swear!)"
