When I first read this recipe, I thought there was no way it was going to produce an edible rice... more like rice porridge. Well, I am happy to say I was wrong! I just couldn't see how 1/2c rice would absorb 1.5c of water/broth... but it did. I used only 2 Tbs of butter and toasted my rice (Jasmine) slowly in that. It was plenty for us... I didn't want an oily rice... I added in 1/2 a bouillon cube for a subtle chicken taste and water for the liquid... I added in 2 cloves of garlic ( thinly sliced) at the beginning of the cooking and then stirred in another 2 cloves at the end... My rice turned out fluffy, tender and dry... meaning that there was no liquid in the pan when I finished cooking. It was the best rice I have ever had!!! My BF also liked it a lot... he finished off the pan! We will make this often... thanks for a great recipe that deserves a lot more than 5 stars...

This rice was very delicious. I ended up adding tuna and onion. However, I added 2 tablespoons of garlic but didn't get a strong enough flavor. Next time I will add 3 or even 4 tablespoons of garlic.

I love garlic and this was a very nice side dish. Doubled the recipe and used chicken broth in place of the water and chicken bouillon cubes. The amount of water was not stated in the recipe so I followed the Minute Rice instructions on the box and used 1 cup of broth. Served with gertc96's Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli. Thank you AuntWoofieWoof posting this recipe!

This is lovely & simple, especially when you cheat & use the rice cooker like me. I put the rice in with 1 tsp chicken stock powder and 1 tsp garlic powder and a bit of parsley for colour, once it got to keep warm stage I stirred in the butter, yum. Made for ZWT 4.

I used 2 T butter, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, jasmine rice and water (instead of broth). This was the best! It was so good. The only downfall was how fattening it is from so much butter, but it was worth it! I may try it again with less butter, but I'm not sure how good it would turn out. Following the directions, it turned out moist...perfect rice.

Made for Holiday Tag 2007. Wonderful rice recipe. So full of flavor. I have only ever made rice in a rice cooekr before, but I followed this recipe exactly (using the chicken broth instead of the water) and it came out perfectly. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. This would make a great dish to so many meals. Thanks for another terrific recipe, Aunt.

A great recipe for those who enjoy rice - and we do. Moist buttery and so good. Made as posted with excellent results - next time when I get to step seven will try the rice cooker - should work! Have this recipe set aside to make again - very soon.
