WoW! this rice pilaf was outstanding! I used Jasmine long grain rice and I replaced the store brought can of chicken broth with using 1 cup of fresh chicken broth with 1 cup boiling water and adding 2 chicken bouillon cubes. We enjoyed this rice pilaf with Onion Sauce Chicken and both recipes will be put into my family's favorite Zaar recipes cookbook. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! It was YUMMY!!

    We enjoyed this 'rice-a-roni'! I used spaghettini as that is what I had on hand. I felt it was missing something but couldn't put my finger on it. I think next time I will throw some slivered almonds on top to give it a little crunch. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    I used no sodium chicken stock. It was my first time mixing vermicelli and rice. I loved the texture. Maybe 20 minutes was too much or maybe my heat was too high (I put it to 2). For me it's low unless 1 would have been better. I never know for that. Next time I'll try to cook it in the microwave (I'm better for rice in the microwave). Thanks JCC. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

    We thought this rice pilaf was delicious. I served it with Arnie's Chicken and it was a perfect accompaniment! Super easy to make. I was worried when my pasta turned golden, but it was absolutely delicious and did not ruin the texture of the pasta at all. I used Jasmine long grain rice. Thank you JCC. Zaar World Tour 4.
