recipe reviews for:

Brazilian White Rice

“White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.”

This has instantly become my favourite kind of rice. The taste is deliciously subtle. I thought it was going to be a bit stronger. It's perfect for those times when I don't want anything strong (I'm picky with such things). I couldn't help but eat every last grain even though when I tried it I wasn't that terribly hungry. haha This is definitely something I will be making often.

This was really really good! At first bite, I was a little skeptical, but it really grew on me! I subbed EVOO for veggie oil per personal preference and also used green onion instead of regular (I bought them thinking they were what the recipe called for...must have read it in a review maybe?). Served w/Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs for an outstanding meal. THANKS for a great recipe!!

This was a good basic recipe. I liked the texture of the rice a lot. I would like to add cilantro or parsley in the rice next time for a little more flavor.

This is excellent rice. I always "fry" my rice like this except instead of onion and garlic I usually use vermicelli then add the rice. This is a nice change. I've made this a few times and I add 1/2 a small onion and 4 cloves of garlic.

Great recipe, white rice never better. We lightly fry our rice and noodles in Mexican cooking as well. This is the best recipe for white rice. Thanks

This was good rice. I would not recommend using a red onion...turns kind of an ugly gray color!

Sorry but I was disappointed with this rice. The taste wasn't "wow" as I expected it to be considering its high rating. There is nothing wrong with it but my family could not tell the difference between this and just plain old rice. Thanks anyway.

Wow! This rice turned out perfect! I loved that I didn't need to add any butter or soy sauce, it had really good flavor just the way it was. My 2 year-old loves rice but I was a little skeptic serving it to her with the garlic and onion but she ate it up!

I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but for my taste, it needed more garlic and onion, and I didn't quite put in all the salt it called for (thinking it would be ok) but it needed the whole amount. I will try again, but adjusting to my tastes. Good recipe though.
