Made this tonight with a 400ml tin of coconut milk measured in rather than just water. It was so nice and creamy, and the zing of the lime with the coriander adding a nice lift, it tasted great and really well balanced with all the flavours.

Used Basmati rice and followed the recipe. The result was delicious served with Thai shredded chicken & runner bean salad (also on this site).

A tasty alternative to plain rice. We make it with the chicken teriyaki skewers. Delicious

Lovely yet simple side dish - served this with the baked peanut chicken recipe and some soy sauce. Such a nice change from plain rice.

This is a lovely side dish that's simple to make and full of flavour. I served it alongside the Miso Salmon recipe and it worked very well. Would really recommend it if you're looking for a more interesting (and tasty) way to serve rice.
