My Guatemalan sister-in-law taught me how to make this rice. In Guatemala, it is served with almost any meal, and is accompanied by black beans, salsa, and corn tortillas.

Pretty bland. I'd double everything but the rice if I were to make this again. Read More

Great simple rice recipe. Wife loved it. I add a little extra salt because that’s how I roll. I will make this again soon. Read More

Sometimes it's nice to have a subtle side dish. This has a lovely flavor and complimented my grilled pork perfectly. Read More

Used leeks (had to use them up) was still fantastic. Will be a staple in my kitchen. Also makes excellent fried rice with leftovers! Read More

I added sweet corn and spinach to make it more colorful. Also I had used paprika to give it a spicy texture since my family doesn't like bland food. It turned out wonderful and everyone loved it! Will definitely make it more often. Read More

I made a few changes. I used aminos rather than soy and when I ran low on that we used sesame oil. Read More
