I used chicken stock instead of water and butter instead of margarine. Very tasty, this would make a great side for fish. This is a really easy recipe, and it doesn't take long at all. In fact, the rice took a lot less than 20 minutes, it took about 8 minutes and longer than that it started burning to the bottom. I was wondering if maybe the cooktime was off because 3/4 a cup of rice is not much at all. This would serve maybe 2 people.

Excellent and so easy. My husband who dislikes rice had 3 servings and has proclaimed that I can make it again. High praise indeed. I followed the directions except for using butter in place of margarine. I had to let it sit about 20 minutes after it was done while I made the stir fry and it was still perfect. I did wash the rice 5 times before cooking as my Indian neighbor insists that is the secret of perfect rice. This is a very good basic recipe. Thank you.
