Expert Tips

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.

If you don’t use fresh gingerroot quickly, tightly wrap and freeze it, unpeeled, up to 6 months. To use frozen gingerroot, slice off a piece and return the rest to the freezer.

To toast coconut, spread evenly on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in 350ºF oven 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

    This was excellent! I wanted to add just a hint of sweetness so I added a tablespoon of honey. I used brown rice and served it with Island BBQ talapia.

    This is simply the very best rice recipe I've ever tasted! I used a micro-grater for the ginger root and the lime peel, which increases the flavors. I'll be trying it with brown rice next time to get more fiber into the dish. I didn't use the onions as hubby has issues with them, but think I'll chop them and put them to the side for use by those who want them next time. A very versatile recipe. Thanks!

    Delicious! I use half a can of coconut milk (almost a cup) and freeze the other half for the next time I make this. Sometimes I use broth, water if I don't have it, and it's almost as good. Goes beautifully with the slow cooker thai chicken dish on this site and with lots of other dishes, too. My 3 year old loves it, too. Don't worry if you don't have the lime peel or onions... it's still good and you can garnish or season with something to tie it to your main dish.
