Ingredients

  1. 2 cups long-grain rice

My family loves this recipe and we highly recommend making it!  We thought the flavors were good and more complex than the few ingredients recipe calls for.

Recipe was easily constructed from everyday ingredients, offered good taste and easy cleanup. Not much depth of flavor but it was simple and quick.
