A good, quick, and flavorful rice dish. My whole family enjoyed this and I would make it again. I browned my veggies in the olive oil and used more salt and pepper than called for. It turned out wonderful:)

I've tried making this recipe twice. It was ok, but just not what I'm looking for. I want something with a little more punch. It has also turned out sticky both times I made it. I think it has great potential though w/ cosiderable tweakng.

I followed the recipe exactly. It wasn't bad, but it didn't knock my socks off. I was hoping my toddlers would go for it, but no such luck. I might make it as a side in the future, but it's not at the top of my list.

Excellent, tasty, colorful rice dish! Rather than using long grain rice, I used par-broiled rice, which required extra chicken broth and orange juice - based on the amounts suggested for this recipe - to ensure it was properly cooked. Rather than using a white onion for this recipe, I will use green onions instead. I didn't have mandarin oranges and the orange flavor was still very good. I will definitely make this rice dish again.

This is the perfect rice to go with kabobs! I made this at least 3 times over the summer.

I made this recipe exactly as written. It was different from anything else I have ever made and had more flavor than I thought it would. The mandarin oranges really helped.

This dish was good.... Not "oh my god - good" but, good. I made it for a Hawaiin theme party I went to. Noone raved about it....but, that could be because everyone was already pretty liquored up. Would I make this again? I doubt it. Don't get me wrong, it was good...maybe for a family dinner...but not for a party.

Good recipe. I made this with cerviche mahi mahi and broccoli with lemon almond butter and it made for a great meal. The mahi mahi recipe is off of foodnetwork.com. I did not have the oranges for this recipe, but otherwise it tasted great.

This was a very nice and refreshing side dish. The only thing I did differently was to use all red bell pepper, and omitted the green. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Zita!

Followed the recipe exactly and it was very good. It is different, colorful, easy and tasty. I fixed it with Garlic Chicken from this site and they complimented each other quite well. Thanks for the recipe!!

This was a wonderful accompanyment to shrimp and scallops on the grill. My hard-to please mom absolutely loved it. Followed the recipe to a "T" and would not change a thing. Thanks for a great side dish, Zita!

This was very very good. We had this with a sweet and tangy chicken recipe that we found on this site but we altered it to our own taste. I would highly recomend this to anyone who likes rice.
