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

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
