This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added spices.

I'm not a huge fan of pilaf, but this recipe was pretty good. I especially liked the crispy vermicelli.

This was a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some chopped vegetables and a fried egg on top.

Not bad! I would have liked it more if there was more bacon.

This dish was just okay. The bacon was a bit too salty for my taste, and the rice was a little dry.

I've never had pilaf before, but this was a great introduction! The bacon and vermicelli gave it a really nice flavor and texture.

Easy to make and so flavorful! I used jasmine rice and added some chopped green onions at the end. Yum!

This pilaf was a hit with my family! The bacon added a smoky flavor that really took the dish to the next level. I also loved the addition of vermicelli, which gave it a unique texture. Will definitely be making this again soon!
