In reply to FSethman. Oh boy, I hope you didn’t use minute rice, if you did I’m sure you now know why not to. Minute rice has already been cooked, then the water is dried out. This way it only takes a few minutes to reconstitute it following the packets directions. Quick rice will never absorb all of the tomato juice or the broth. You’ll end up with a very sloppy mess. Use regular non-instant rice. I made this and it rocks!

Only brown rice I have is minute rice, can I use that in my rice cooker? I have basmati rice and Jasmin rice. I’d like to make it soon. Thank you

In reply to Karen. It's an actual cup of rice, I didn't want to assume everyone was using a rice cooker measuring cup.

Recipe looks great. Are the cups of rice using the rice cooker measuring cup (about 3/4 actual cup) or an actual 1 measuring cup?

I have been making this for 3 years now and figure it’s time to finally leave a review! We love it! It’s so easy and so good! Maybe the people who have a problem with the consistency have the wrong type of rice? Thank for posting this!!

Tastes great, and it’s a fantastic and easy way to use up leftover canned tomato. I forgot the onion (oh well, I’ll make it again some time), and we don’t have chili powder as such in Australia, so I winged it with some smoked paprika and extra cumin, garlic powder and cayenne. I also added a bit of MSG.

I made it in a microwave, and usually use a “to my first knuckle measure” so I also didn’t use the water measurement, but I did have to add a fair bit more water towards the end than I would cooking plain rice as it was still a bit crunchy. But it makes sense that crushed tomato isn’t equal to water.

The ingredients make for solidly delicious rice, and it’s clearly pretty tolerant of changes, I love it.

A 1:2 ratio for stove top rice is normal…
