yes, the cook time is less for white rice, that's why this one indicates to use brown rice. And you are correct, the regular boullion cubes are smaller, thanks for the note

you may want to point out that I think you use the Knorr Boullion cubes which are a lot larger than the small square ones most people have. I think you have to use 3 of those small ones to one of the ones you use? Also I think the cook time is less if you use white rice?

I use vermicelli noodles but if you can't have it then just omit it all together, that's what I do when I run out :)
By: dedemed
De De, Instead of egg noodle can it be just a plain angel thin noodle or some other small thin noodle? this is for all the plant based people asking lol Thanks your dishes look so good!

man so few assyrians left around the world, im surprised ppl still know about them
By: MiGGaGaNg
the thing that make brown rice healthier for you is the extra fiber n vitamins that have been stripped away from the white rice. it is a great source of healthy carbs, much more nutritious and goes through your system faster. but REMEMBER brown rice still has as much starch as the white rice so over time neither of them are good to eat everyday. oh and brown rice naturally has more fat than white rice but the thing is brown rice doesnt need any oil added while cooking it, while white rice does.

you can definitely get it without MSG :)
By: dedemed
Are there vegetable bouillons without MSG?
