(Actually I think her exact words were "I'm in love with this rice.")
I can attest that the rice was delicious, as was the Tom Kha Tofu soup. And combining the rice with the soup definitely had a "lime in the coconut" motivation.
Milsabores - I looked online to get a feel for the ingredients in the dish from several sources then taste-tested and improvised the rest. I usually do that to make sure the recipe meets with my tastes.
I've been making this rice for awhile because it was an experiment with mine.......I failed the first time cuz the coconut milk is so thick but I like to fry some pineapple tidbits in butter and mix that in it. WOW talk about good. My guys love it!

Hi! I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. Where did you get this recipe? It's very common here in Venezuela. It's delicious!
