Reviews
Both my husband and I enjoyed this recipe. I agree with Hannah0418 that the raisins and pecans make this recipe. If there are just two or three of you, I suggest halving the recipe. It makes a ton, and the two of us will be having this at least another night though that will not be a problem!
Very good!! My husband who continually tells me he doesn't like brown rice liked this a lot. Found the recipe in an old TOH magazine and will now put this on a regular rotation.
This is phenomenal! Everyone I serve this to comments on how great it is. Nice blend of sweet and salty, crunchy and chewy. I make this often and will continue to do so. Can be made ahead and reheats just like fresh.
A+!!! the raisens and pecans make it different than what you'd normally find in fried rice blends. easy to make.
To me it was good, it wasn't great. I liked the fruit and nuts in the rice but nobody else in my family liked it, so I won't make this again.
