A favorite rice dish at our house! Frozen spinach can be used in place of fresh if desired, just make certain to hand-squeeze out excess moisture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
