Adjusted to serve 6. This makes a good base for hot salad - really needed salt. If I make again, would add some zip -- few dashes of hot sauce, and would replace the instant rice with basmati or jasmine. It went together quickly and my guest took some home for another day. Thanks for posting, Grandma Joan
