This was an easy recipe that produced great results! The rice came out perfectly -- no clumping, and no mush. (Be sure and use the amount of water suggested.) I made enough for six persons... and every grain was eaten up. Next time I'll make a bit more!

I made this last night and it was a big hit in my house. My family LOVED it. <br/>It's a nice subtle, rich, flavor to it. <br/>Am making this again tonight.

The flavors in this rice are subtle, but you can still taste them. Went well with steamed salmon with a ginger-soy sauce. Made for Spring 2008 PAC.
