make brown rice using chicken broth (or any other flavor broth) instead of water.





1 cup brown rice


1 3/4 cups chicken broth (add more if needed if the rice soaks it all up before it's done)


2 tbsps butter

Box kind, chicken flavor.











Mexican rice


1 cup uncooked white rice


2 TB. vet. oil


1 1/2 - 2 cups water


1/2 med. onion- diced


2 chicken bouillons- knorr brand


1/2 cup salsa (this determines how spicy it will be) or 7 dashes of seasoning salt





In a frying pan, heat the oil and add the uncooked rice. Brown the rice. Add the water real fast. (Careful, it may pop a little) Crumble the chicken bouillons and add to the rice. Throw in the onion and the salsa. Add the seasoning salt. Stir well until most of the bouillon is dissolved (about 1 minute). Now turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. IMPORTANT: Leave the rice alone. Don't stir it or anything for 20 - 25 minutes. Since it's on low, it should just be simmering the whole time. After 20 or so minutes, take off the lid and dig down and taste a bite of the rice directly in the middle of the pan. If it is of the correct consistency, it's done!
Well I wouldn't get instant rice. Get regular rice but it takes much longer to cook. 20 min. It is worth it though.
