I was looking for an orange rice recipe that I had tasted several years ago. I saw this and thought I would give it a try, and it was even better than the one I was trying to replace!!! This will be a keeper in our house. Even the kids gobbled it up!

I made this recipe for a school function and it was a huge hit. I used orzo (rice sized pasta) instead of rice. It is very unusual and delicious. thanks!!

This recipe was delicious - I didn't have any chicken broth so I just used water and it still came out lovely. I also used the leftovers cold in lettuce-leaf wraps with a little chicken and it was awesome!

this tasted so light and wonderful. It is great paired with a seafood entree. The only modifications I made were to put about 2 tsp. of the grated orange rind in it for a bit more orange flavor. That worked real well. I used basmati rice also to make this. This is a keeper recipe and so easy to prepare.

This was really good, while it was cooking everyone kept commenting on how good it smelled. It wasn't strong enough to overpower any other dishes, but held up well on its own too. If you, like me, are unable to find fresh cilantro (most of the stores here don't want to carry it, it seems) then you can find dried cilantro and use extra, letting it sit in there a little longer so it doesn't taste as dry. This also was a little tough. Cover it while simmering so that the rice gets softer than it would otherwise.

AWESOME! Great flavor, good kick, not too much anything and a really good different way to make plain ol' rice. Works well with brown rice too--just up the liquids a bit and cook longer!

Added a little more cayenne for the kick and 1/4 cup cilantro more, it just looked better. Absolutely wonderful. Great with ginger/teriyaki glazed salmon.
