  1. Hello there! This was a good rice dish, but I thought it needed a bit more flavor. I added a bit more chili and garlic powder. This could be because of my stove or the brand of rice I used, but the cooking time was a little off. I had to add more water (1/2 cup) and finish it off in the microwave. My meat dish was done before the rice. Overall, it was very good and had it the next night with meatloaf. Thanks for the recipe! :)
