I just made this rice for dinner. I haven't a clue why they call it Feathered Rice, which I agree is a terrible name, but it was very good. All I had was Minute Rice, so I just used the same amount of water to rice. With using the Minute Rice, the dish was ready in 45 minutes.
Next time I will use Jasmine rice and cook it longer, as written.
My husband, who hates onions, really liked the rice, too. That says a lot.
