A good way to fix rice so that's it's a little different and doesn't sabotage my diet plan. (Just for the record, though, I can't imagine any kid thinking it's cheesy rice!)

Nice way to make rice - I just saw the orginial notes to add sunflower seeds - I will try that next time! Definitely a keeper!

yum yum. For such a simple recipe, this is great! I used Jasmine rice, which was cooked already (leftovers) I doubled the carrots and added peas and red onion. Simple sweet side dish in minutes.

This rice is quick and easy in a rice cooker, and the carrots give eye appeal, as well as color. I added diced onion, and used a can of chicken broth instead of bullion cubes (I tripled the recipe). I rated it a three only because it had no burst of new or interesting flavor. For ease and visual acuity, it rates a 5.

quick and easy way to give rice some flavor. wasn't a "hit" in my house, but ideal if you haven't planned a side.

Not bad. I used instant rice and added some butter to the water for flavor. I also cooked the carrots with the rice; the raw carrots in the cooked rice didn't work for me. A good recipe to get some veggies in.

Nice change. The kids enjoyed it as well. I used Jasmine rice (which upped the calorie count, but not by much)and 2 bulion cubes. I made it my double decker steamer instead of on the stove top. I placed the cubes in 2 cups of hot water and let them disolve, then added it all to the steamer and let it go. Easy, and we'll be having this again.

This was excellent! I sauteed a small shallot and the carrots a bit before adding the water. Also threw in a couple teaspoons of butter at the end. Will make this again soon!

My family didn't care for this recipe. Just didn't taste right.

This was really quite nice as a side dish. I should have just followed the recipe as is for the first time, but followed others' advice and added 3 bouillon cubes. WAY too salty!! Next time I'll try one, maybe two. Simple, easy, and enjoyable!
