No More TearsTo reduce tears while cutting onions, freeze onions for 20 minutes before chopping. Also, use a very sharp knife when chopping onions and chop quickly. You can save both time and tears by chopping many onions at once. Freeze the extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Before sauteing, thaw the onions and pat them dry. Frozen chopped onions can be added directly to soups or casseroles.)

My husband and 11-year old son really liked this. I didn't use the water chestnuts and added corn instead of the peas along with about 1/3 cup water. It was very good.

The canned bean sprouts (name brand) overwhelmed the taste of this recipe. Made it taste very bitter! If I made this recipe again, I would drain & rinse the bean sprouts and add 1/2 c. water. May also add some sugar to combat the bitterness. I liked the overall concept of the recipe. I was really disappointed that it did not turn out!

This was excellent. I did add about 1/2 cup of water when adding the peas for the last 20 minutes of heating. I was afraid it would become too dry and the rice wouldn't finish cooking. Glad I did as it was perfect. I plan to try it with chicken and chicken soup next time. Thanks Willie.

I was looking for something new to try and this hit the spot. Hubby said a keeper. I only had one can of cream of mushroom so used that and a can of cream of celery. I was also out of peas so used chopped frozen broccoli instead.
