"This pilaf was always on the Taylor Thanksgiving table. I would joke that it was my Korean mom's way of sneaking some form of rice into the meal. What she served came from a box, though, and was crazy high in sodium."

I've noticed brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice. It is also important that you follow the directions closely. You must let the rice cook. Don't open the lid. Don't stir in more liquid. Let the rice do it's thaaaaaaang

Great flavor but...
