  1. This is extremely smooth and creamy - almost reminds me of risotto in texture. I used short-grain rice and a 1:1 mix of water and broth, instead of 2 cups of broth. Makes a good side dish or a lunch with some fruit.
     
  2. Something a little different, but very tasty. Liked the creaminess of the rice, and the hint of ginger. I served this with a tomato chicken dish I make. Thanks for posting. =)
     
  3. This recipe was so delicious! The flavor was fantastic! Served as a side with #49145 Thai Pork Curry.
     
  4. Creamy, but need to up the ginger and lemon next time. Served with soy coconut chicken, cucumber salad and stir fry bok choy. A keeper.
     
  5. Such a delicious recipe! I only made one change, and that was to omit the green onion and lemon rind, and to stir in 2 tablespoons of orange marmalade instead. I also added salt and pepper. This is the PERFECT mix of sweet and savory! I did taste the rice before stirring in the orange, and it was fabulous without it too! I served it with Recipe#240430, which is the reason I added the orange marmalade, to compliment the flavors, and with steamed carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. I did use Jasmine rice, and I had exactly 1/2 cup coconut milk left from my can! It was a wonderful meal that I will absolutely repeat!

  2. I made this for the fourth week of my 2008 One-A-Week cookbook. I made it in the same manner as PaulaG (with the exception of my rice being calrose rice instead of basmati) because I did not have coconut milk on hand, but I did have coconut extract. This was a very interesting take on simple rice for a side dish. I would like to try it again with either basmati or jasmine rice next time. My boyfriend said he really enjoyed it and would eat it again! Thanks for posting!
