Notes

The tumeric is what gives this rice its golden hue. Can double the recipe and freeze the extra rice for future meals: Freeze in 1 qt. freezer bags, 3 cups of rice per bag. Flatten rice in bags to thin, even layer, and press out air before sealing for easy stacking and reheating. To reheat frozen rice, transfer to covered microwave safe dish. Cook with full power for 2 minutes, stir; cook another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
