Great taste and simple preperation. The raisins caught my co-worker off gaurd as he eats like a 3 yr old but he pushed through and found it quite enjoyable. There is a good balance of sweetness and the celery is a delightful crunch. This rice will see its way to my Fire House dinner table often

This was great and really easy. I didn't have all the spices and it still turned out good.

I did follow this recipe as written, but for all the spices and ingredients added, i thought it would have had more WOW to the taste. It definitely wasn't bad; better than PLAIN brown rice for sure- but not different or interesting enough to make again.

We loved this rice recipe and don't think I'll make rice any other way. I may try adding a half cup rice next time and call it a meal. Thanks!!!!!

I made this for company and they said the raisins made them a little nervous but after trying it decided it was really good! I used beef broth instead of chicken as it was all I had on hand and I think I would do it that way again!

Sweet, spicy and very hearty. Didn't have celery...used walnuts. Didn't have soy sauce...used teriyaki. Didn't have coriander...did without.

By the time I was done with this recipe, my boyfriend didn't even mind that I was cooking with brown rice :) When I didn't have celery, but wanted crunchy - I tried walnuts, and it was just as good.

This was very good. I used leftover rice that had been cooked with water rather than broth and it still tasted great. I had to add a little salt.

Excellant! Was delish! Would never have thought these would combine so well. I was a little suspicious of my coriander (think it is a little outdated) and will try it next time when I'm sure it is fresher. - BEST PART - you can make the rice ahead of time - reheat, cook and add the other ingredients before going to the table. I love the sweet and savoury aspect of this dish. Thank you Mtreeesor!

Loved it! I will definitely do this again. I think it needs way more raisins though, which I added to add in the "sweet" factor. Also, when cooking the items you are to mix in, be careful not to overcook.

I really liked this recipe, although I changed a few things around. I did not have broth so I just used water to cook the rice. I used olive oil instead of butter, did not use an onion but used some onion powder, also used powdered ginger instead of fresh. I used all the other spices as written and really liked the flavor of this rice. I also used about 1/2 cup of celery and 1/2 cup of raisins. Both of my toddlers liked this recipe too, which is quite an accomplishment since they are really picky. I will make this again and next time use broth and fresh ginger. If you are out of those ingredients it still tastes fine without.

We thought this was very good and will definitely make again, with these improvements. A whole onion and much more celery, increase the spice to 1 tsp., Don't overcook it. When you add the spices, you're just toasting to bring out the flavor, the longer you cook after adding the spices, the more flavor you lose. Next time we will also increase the amount of soy sauce and raisins-we love raisins. They add a nice touch of sweetness. Very tasty dish, am looking forward to next time.
