Additional Notes:
This recipe was submitted to TammysRecipes.com from visitor Kristina Olson. She included these notes:

I make this rice in my rice cooker. If you don't have a rice cooker, you can make it in a sauce pan. Add an extra 1/2 cup water at the same time as the broth (more water cooks out if you make it in a sauce pan.)

To turn this recipe into rice pilaf, add a fresh chopped tomato when you add the broth. When the rice is finished cooking, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon - not lemon juice concentrate!) and 1/2 cup fresh parsley. Stir WELL and serve!

When I make regular yellow rice, I usually make a double batch. The leftovers make great fried rice. Start by frying about 1 egg per 2 cups rice in oil, add a bit of soy sauce, chop the eggs into tiny bits with a metal spatula, (can add veggies if you like) add more oil, the rice, and soy sauce. Fry until all the rice is hot.
