Your rice to liquid measurement was wrong. Had to add 2 cups white rice when there was about 20 minutes left because it was like soup. Which will in turn change calorie count too. - 10/1/10

Looks like a great recipe, but the calorie count is wrong if you haven't included the rice and the oil. - 9/13/10

Thank you for pointing that out. I did have the rice factored into the cal count just forgot to add it to the ingredient list. You are right though, I did not include the oil. Went back to add the oil and it turns out I counted the meat 2xs so after adjustments it tuns out to be less cal than b4!
