  1. You are right, this rice is the best! I absolutely loved all that coconut flavor, from the coconut milk (I used the lite version) and toasted coconut...yum! I also really loved the heat from the chili pepper and chili paste. The flavors combine beautiuflly with jasmine rice. Don't skip the cilantro topping, it works sooooo well with this rice. Note: Next time, I need to leave my lemongrass in bigger pieces, I chopped mine too small and couldn't extract them before serving. Thanks for a delicious side dish! Made for ZWT7 for the Golden Gourmets.
     
  2. Very tasty! Loved all of the flavors in this dish. The toasted coconut was a nice touch. We skipped the raisins, though. Just the right amount of "heat" in this for us. Great with a Steak and Halibut surf-n-turf dinner. Made for ZWT 7.

  5. Wow! Love this rice!! It does ask for a lot of ingredients but it's so worth it!! Didn't have lime leaves and used sweetened coconut (because that's all I had!). Thanks Baby Kato for a great rice recipe!!

  2. This rice dish could really pass for a main meal lol! I did omit the lime leaves and the lemongrass and used Canola oil in place of peanut oil, I used 2 small halapeno peppers in place of the chili pepper, this is one of the better rice dishes that I have made, it's just delicious! thanks Baby K!...Kitten:)
