This was the best rice I have ever made. Used Thai chili paste, skipped the mint, self ground coriander seeds, Jasmine rice, and regular basil. I made it and served hot cause we just couldn't wait. BEST I'VE EVER MADE. Soo good. Thanx for the recipe!

Passionate about a lot of things but cooking and eating is definitely one of them! It started with baking cakes as a child, but the real fun started making pizza's from scratch as a teenager. Worked as a dessert and lunch cook in Amsterdam but was better in managing the floor and guests than staying in the kitchen. Still have my papers to start my own restaurant one day :-) But at this time in my life cooking is just fun! Especially when my whole family looks happy and satisfied after the last dish is served.
