  1. I loved this recipe. Without adding any sweetener, the rice has exactly the right taste for accompaniment with spicy or more savory dishes.

  2. This is my favourite rice recipe! The coconut milk infuses the rice with flavour while also making it nice and soft. Unlike other rice recipes that make the rice go dry by the next day, this recipe keeps the rice in a fresh state. It also tastes perfect with the Jerk Tofu Finger recipe.
