    Steamed Rice, My folks ALWAYS made their rice this way (Dad taught Mom, too!), only omitting the onion and using water only when preparing it for something sweet, like a rice pudding It really takes no longer than ordinary rice, and it tastes so much better Try it, and you will never go back to making rice the old way! The orzo option is my own addition and is a nice variation, especially when having company , This recipe makes making rice fool proof! It was perfect rice not sticky, mushy or gummy! Thanks for sharing this way of making rice I will make it this way always! used olive oil to brown the rice lightly and just added the water thats it and so yummy loved the flavor!!!, Made this as a side with dinner My husband and I both agree that it needs more salt or something as it seemed too bland I actually ended up throwing part of it away The rice itself cooked up nicely and I did use all ingredients as stated except what was in the variation section
