Reviews
I didn’t know I needed to cover and simmer the rice to cook it enough. So, I had to add water and time to get the rice from crunchy to soft. For veggies we added steamed broccoli and peas. So delish! To me this recipe tasted like a rice pilaf more than a fried rice. It was good especially when I added soy sauce.
This simple recipe was exactly what I was looking for! I actually took the easier way out and used 3 min brown rice and canned french cut green beans. the flavors work together well.
My 16 year old son is going all healthy so I made him this and he loved it.
Very good! Very easy! Loved it!
Very Good as is (besides needing a bit of salt, IMO), but awesome w/ a couple little additions…I did use olive oil cooking spray to cut down on the fat and that worked fine. Cooked the green beans and the rice as instructed. The feta gave this a nice twang, but when I tasted it I felt it needed something more. I added in some minced garlic and a drizzle of sesame oil (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) and that did the trick, SO GOOD! We really, REALLY enjoyed this along w/ our fish for dinner tonight…Thanks so much for the idea, I will be making this again and again~YUM!!!!
