GREEN ONION RICE



Green Onion Rice image

Another one of my recipes to give me that "rice-a-roni" flavor without the sodium trauma. Tried this out on Fathers Day and it was a big hit. I did this recipe with brown jasmine rice, which took longer than this recipe states. Tastes amazing, but just remember it will take about an hour.
