So, what about us dummies that do not really know about a recipe that calls for rice of any kind--why can't you tell us if this rice needs to be cooked before adding it to the recipe? Also, being diabetic but not overweight, I could care less about the calories-I need to count carbs. Thanks for any feedback--

Editor's Note Any kind of whole grained white rice will work for this recipe. The rice cooks in the water you add so don't cook it ahead of time. I wouldn't use Minute rice for this one. Uncle Ben's would work fine but it's much cheaper to just buy white rice by the pound or larger bags. The rice is a carb.
