Just made by melting butter/honey in microwave until boiling, then cooled and put in spice while the rice was cooking. Mixed with some cooked shrimp for a big lunch. Husband added soy sauce and said it was sweet but good. I enjoyed it.

This one wasn't a hit in our house. I think hubby just couldn't get past the idea of sweet rice. Also, I used buckwheat honey which has quite a strong flavor so maybe if I would've used a lighter honey, we would've enjoyed it more. Thanks for something new to try, though.

Yummy and great for the kiddos. (The adults tend to find it a bit boring.) This is quite similar to a breakfast I used to eat when I was younger. We'd raisins instead of peanuts and float the stuff in milk.
