I use chicken or beef bullion cubes in the water, like 2 or 3 for 4 servings for a lot of flavor, and I add some garlic pepper and onion powder (or whatever spices are handy in the cabinet) and toss in some frozen mixed veggies!. Not too many!. I usually use this with a long grain jasmine rice!. It is easy and really good!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
