This was a lovely rice Jubes. It was soft mellow and perfectly cooked. The perfect pairing for our red curried beef. The curry was hot and spicy while the rice was soft and subtle in flavor. They blended beautifully. Thanks for sharing your tasty recipe.

Delicious and the perfect pairing with this: Recipe #449740 and accompanied by fresh steamed veggies: broccoli, corn and green beans. I used jasmine rice, fresh turmeric and doubled the amount of sugar (coconut sugar and not standard). I also used coconut milk in place of coconut cream. I will make this again and many times! Prepared for ZWT9. Thank you!

I think that the recipe worked exactly as it is supposed to. DH enjoyed it more than I did. It was just sweeter than I had hoped. I like sweet rice as a rice pudding but not so much on a dinner plate (personal taste only). As I said DH loved it. It sure is a gorgeous yellow.
