Enjoyed this. A nice variation on the traditional style. I used basil instead of parsley.

Nice side dish. I skipped the onions and parsley. Will make again.

This side dish was a nice surprise! It has a wonderful blend of flavors; I liked the minced fresh herbs. I absolutely love the fresh hint of lemon-nice! I omitted the hot pepper sauce since no one can tolerate anything spicy but I did add lots of fresh ground black pepper. I just eye-balled the low-sodium soy sauce, to taste, never measuring. The peas are tender and sweet while the rice is perfectly seasoned. I served this with, “Oven-Baked Sesame Chicken,” and “Asian-Style Zucchini,” also from this website.

Magic! I love when I happen upon a dish that just fits the meal perfectly and I can throw it together with what I have on hand and in a whim, when I realize I should serve something besides just shrimp. :) I didn't have parsley but didn't miss it this time around. A perfect balance of flavors; I loved the fresh zing of the lemon and how nicely it complemented the other flavors. As mentioned, I served this with a spicy shrimp...again, balancing the zip of the shrimp sauce. My bf said this is one to keep around!!

Wow!!! This is one of the best side dishes I have ever had! This is going in the fav's folder for sure. I may try adding more veggies next time to make it a bit healthier. Thanks for this recipe, we LOVED it:)

This was a simple and easy recipe to make. I thought it was just alright but the rest of the family loved it. Only change I made was that I too added lemon juice to it.

Ohhhhhh, yeaaahhh. Looking for the perfect side dish? One that won't drown out the flavors of your main dish and will let IT be the star of the show? This is it! Gently enhanced with lemon and "amped" with soy sauce, this was just beautiful and downright delicious. Use butter, not margarine, for best flavor, and cook the rice in chicken broth. So delicious I could have eaten this on its own and skipped the "Oven-Baked Sesame Chicken" and "Almond Broccoli Stir-Fry" I served it with. But don't get me wrong - the three of these dishes together?..... perfect harmony.

This is a wonderful side dish! I always boil my rice in chicken broth with garlic powder ... I just think it makes a big difference.

i am giving this 4 stars only because my husband liked it. personally i just thought it was weird tasting and the flavors didn't blend well together at all, and i usually love lemon dishes. i did add the lemon juice and lemon pepper seasoning as others suggested (didn't have a lemon on hand) and i think it was the lemon pepper seasoning that made me not care for this dish. if i ever make it again (as an absolute last resort for a side dish) i wouldn't use that with the lemon juice, just one or the other. it was a little overwhelming using both.
