  • Was perfect and the cilantro was the perfect addition. So easy to pull together.....this will be a regular....served it with garlic/lemon chicken, spinach with diced tomatoes and homemade bread. Yum.

  • What's with the photo?? I see nothing but plain white rice! That rice has nothing in it. Nice plate and bowl, though... I make this often and it is not pristine white.

  • Fabulous recipe - we had it with fish! Truly delicious! 2 days later we cooked a turkey (even tho its not Thanksgiving time) and put it in the pot of Turkey Soup made with the leftovers. Wonderful!

  • This is a great recipe! Made as written, definitely not too much ginger. Made to go with the Asian Flank Steak with Sweet Slaw, also from this site, and it was delicious. Have made several times for company, and everyone loves it.

  • Made exact recipe and cut back on the ginger a bit. This was excellent! We are cilantro lovers and I know we will use this recipe a lot. Substituting parsley would be fine too.

  • This rice is amazing. It's the perfect side to a Thai Seafood soup. I've done with with vegetable oil and coconut oil, both are incredible.

  • I've made this recipe many times and my tips are to use a bit less ginger than the recipe calls for (I use half of what is called for); add the cilantro at the end of the cooking time. Tonight I had an epiphany and tried coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and it was better than ever. I serve this with Asian flank steak. It is indescribably delicious.

  • Delicious. Made this with the Sea Bass with Curry-Coconut sauce. The rice was delicious with the sauce, but maybe even better without it. I would make this rice again with an thai/asian dinner.
