Instant Rice is an avoidable no-no,
September 4, 2007

"I really do enjoy 99% of what you on this site, but this recipe reaches a new and unacceptable
low in its use of instant rice. It is a recipe which should have been left to the crock-pot lady.
The coleslaw instead of proper veggies is bad enough, but insant rice goes way over the line. It is quite unnecessary as well as being inappropropriate. I tried this recipe because I wanted to recommend improvements to an obvious flop of a recipe. It was worse that expected!
Cutting up a bagged fresh vegetable medley takes very little time and is worth it fo the better quality.
As for rice, if you want white rice, take ordinary
untreated rice and bring it to a boil, then cook for a couple of minutes (with a rice cooker, just wait until it generates some steam or the lid begins to rattle) .or on the stove, stop when the rice is undercooked by half calculating by time or a grain still has a white dot (similar to pasta).
For the best choice, which is brown rice, you should nearly double the water and the precooking time before adding it to the skillet. White rice is one of the few serious culinary blunders in Chinese cuisine.
This meal could, in my opinion, have been better made as a fried rice with sliced rather than cubed beef. Fried rice is actually intended as a one pan (wok) meal!"
