I really liked how soft, fluffy this was cooked. I followed the recipe, but after cooking 15 minutes, the rice was perfect and I didn't get to the napkin over pan, replace cover and let sit 40 minutes.. This was really good. . I didn't add salt due to the bouillon, but I think it DOES NEED it. Made with Dragon's Breath Sticky Ribs last night.. mmm
