"You can add a protein such as cooked chicken, cooked beef, cooked turkey or cooked sausage to the recipe. Its a good way to use up leftovers. Use 2 1/2 cups cooked meat for each recipe of rice."

The mircrowave version of this didn't work the best for me either- though I do like it on the stovetop (increasing the liquid to 2 cups)

This didn't really work from the freezer, but as another user suggested, it may be great to just make it without freezing.

I don't really like this recipe from the freezer so instead I make up little baggies of the dry ingredients then when I want rice I just take one bag and add the Water and nuke it. I love the flavor!

It may just be me, but this didn't work out for me at all. The rice didn't coook the way it should.
