Submitted by Lasherjlg

i loved the taste of it once it finally finished cooking. i cooked it according to the directions given, but at the end of the time it was still liquidy. had to let it simmer for about 20 more minutes before the rice was fully cooked and the fluids absorbed. other than it was a hit with my family.
