Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Crispy salt and pepper pork; Duck satay with peanut sauce; Ginger pork meatballs with cilantro and fish sauce; Coconut kofte kebabs; Spicy pork and black bean chili with sage and white cheddar; Miso-glazed salmon with brown sugar; Fried eggs with chiles, tamarind sauce, and crispy shallots; Pomegranate roasted tofu with eggplant and toasted cumin; Crispy tofu with ginger and spicy greens; Curried lentils with poached eggs and garlicky yogurt; Spicy beets with yogurt and ginger

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I followed the directions exactly and got a gloopy, undercooked mess. In retrospect, the ratio between rice and coconut milk seems way off—too much liquid for that amount of rice.

    Great tasting coconut rice!

    Great coconut flavored rice. Since I only made half a recipe, there was more than enough coconut milk in my 8.5 oz carton that I did not have to add water.

    Worked great with brown rice. Served with the Vietnamese Caramel Salmon.

    This was very good! The coconut flavour really comes through. It went very well with the ginger & pork meatballs from the same book.

  • Lepa on June 06, 2017

    This is easy and the result is very rich and satisfying. We ate it with tofu with garlicky peanut sauce (from Clark's In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite) and gingery stir-fried broccoli. The rice was fabulous with the peanut sauce.
