   You can substitute chicken, beef or vegetable broth for the cooking water;add some frozen mixed veggies, sauteed veggies such as onions and mushrooms or chopped fresh veggies such as carrots, celery, zuchini or squash; or add some left over chicken, beef or pork to you rice all without frying it. Very tasty, healthy and low fat.

   Edamame Rice

   This is a light and refreshing way to jazz up a side dish of rice. Cooking it in the microwave saves time.
   INGREDIENTS:
   1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
   2 cups water
   1 cup frozen edamame
   2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
   2 tbsp freshly chopped mint

   Allow to stand for 1 minute. Makes 3 cups.

   I always use a little chicken bouillon and fresh chopped garlic. Just put in those ingredients with some salt and pepper and cook like normal rice. 1 cup rice, 2 cups water(with chicken bouillon, garlic, salt, and pepper)
   Bring rice and water to a boil then cover with lid and turn down heat. Simmer for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. This rice has a great flavor and is low fat. Enjoy!
