The nutritional information for this is way off. In the ingredients the rice is listed as uncooked, but in the nutritional information it was included as 1 cup of cooked rice. I made this rice with brown rice (less calories) and only 1 T of oil and I'm coming up with 140 calories per serving. - 4/3/11
