    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to make and tastes amazing. My kids even eat their veggies!

  • Treva Sipes

    I added a little ginger and garlic along with the onion, and it was fantastic!

  • Anna Altenwerth

    I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. I had to add a little extra water and cook it for a little longer though.

  • Carroll Kiehn

    Perfectly fluffy rice every time. I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit.
