Sweet Rice

Submitted by knobbyknee

"This recipe was given to me, upon request! We have a fresh Mex grill place here that uses sweet rice. This recipe is very similar to this restaurants. Use it on your fresh tortilla salads, or in burritos, on the side, any way you have it, it is darn good (and sweet!) NOTE: The amount of sugar makes it very sweet. You can alter the amount of sugar if you would like, just remember it is supposed to be sweet! Also, let the sugar dissolve in the stock so you won't have sugar that has sunk to the bottom of the pan."

This may not be exactly the way they make it at Bajios, but it is close enough for me. Great!

We have the same "Mexican Grill" near us! And while I have a recipe for their wonderful pork, I haven't been able to get the rice quite right. Thanks sooooo much for posting this!

I have made this recipe a thousand times! It is my favorite and everyone always asks me for it. I havent been able to make it in Nevada though and i have no idea why. :( It never turns out. Any rice, not just this one. But this one is amazing!
