THIS SIDE DISH is compatible with any meat entree you serve. One of my friends gave me this recipe many years ago. I made a few changes, and it has been a family favorite for a long time. This secret of the tasty flavor is the chicken broth. —Norma Poole Auburndale, Florida

I'm not a big fan of rice, but I loved this dish! I thought I had sesame seeds on hand but didn't, so I used sesame oil to saute instead. It was still delicious! I served it with some Thai spicy peanut pork and stir-fried cabbage.

I was expecting this rice to be a little bland, but was surprised by it's big flavor! Absolutely delicious. The only thing is that it was too salty, next time I won't add the extra that the recipe calls for, it really dose not need it. This coming from a person who likes salty food.

This rice was very good, but I used Basmati rice, which I felt over powered any other flavor. I will make this again, just with a different rice.

I was making a brown sugar glazed salmon recipe from this site and planned to serve rice with it. Wanted something with more pizazz than just plain rice, so decided to give this a try. It was perfect! Easy to make, very good flavor, and the sesame seeds added a delightful crunch and nuttiness. It did not compete with the flavor of the main course, yet was a wonderful accompaniment. I will definitely make this again!
