I'm reserving a star-rating for now. I'd probably give it 2 or 3 stars based on the way it turned out for me last night. I followed the directions exactly except I made it with an extra 1/4 lb of ground beef and even so, it turned out way too salty. I will make this again, but will cut back to using only 1 tbsp. of soy sauce or switch to a low-sodium soy sauce.
I used serrano peppers in the recipe and it turned out nicely. Spicy but not overwhelming.
I'll also keep a closer eye on my rice. I had never used coconut milk to cook rice before and I expected it would look the same as regular rice when finished (sort of flat and dry on top). However because "foam" from the coconut milk settles on the top when it's done, I didn't realize it was finished and it got all brown on the bottom and stuck to my pot. I was able to save enough for the meal and it tasted really good -- sort of creamy with just a very light coconut flavor. Went very well with the saltiness and spice of the meat.
Next time I make this, I'll make the small adjustment on the soy sauce and come back to award some stars. I bet it's going to be a 5.
