Awesome rice dish!!! I couldn't decide which herb to use so I used some of each. :) I went with the coconut milk and broth option and I used half sweetened and half unsweetened coconut and perhaps a touch more salt. Both alteration just personal prefrence. I think this recipe is a gem. Great as is or could be modified in so many ways to suit many Asian meals as well. Thanks for posting this!! Made for CQ4

Delicious, what a find! After watching a 1-minute YouTube video by Chef Allen Susser, I tackled my fresh mango without a single swear word - history was made! I used a can of coconut milk to which I added a can of coconut water (figuring I should get fresh supplies anyway) and topped off the little bit remaining to 4 cups with water. Oh, so mellow! Served with Recipe #354308, a very nice pairing even if different cuisines. Straight to my Best of 2014 and A1 Rotation cookbooks! Made for Best of 2013 based on LifeIsGood's recommendation.

Delicious, simply delicious even with the changes I was forced to make. My mango was bad when I cut it open, so I omitted it, I use fresh basil and unsweetened coconut and went with the vegetable broth. Wow was this yummy, thank you so much for sharing this quick and easy to make recipe. We will be enjoying this again, can't wait to try it with a good fresh mango. Made for Best of 2013.
