Thai Coconut rice is a great alternative to just plain rice. It is slightly sweet and goes great with spicy Thai food. I got this recipe from my son.

A one pan wonder. I am not so fond of using soy sauce in my food as much as I used to be. I found it can have some bad affects on our bodies and our systems. It's used in just about everything we eat today. So I have cut back on adding extra amounts of it. Hoisin sauce has soy in it already so I wasn't going to add extra.

You can never have too many one pan dinners in your repertoire. Obviously, they're easier to clean up, which is great if your family is like ours and you don't have a dishwasher. They're also usually easier to whip up in the first place, which makes them ideal for busy weeknights. This chicken and rice is a perfect example of such a dish. It comes together in about 15 minutes (20 if you include the prep). It cooks in one pan and is a meal all on its own. And, most important of all, it's delicious.

The recipe for this easy and flavorful dish was published by Kay Chun in The New York Times. I added the turmeric and the red pepper flakes.#GoldenApron23

In the traditional village around Tabanan they have a unique tradition while celebrating Nyepi. The people in the village to prepare special foods such as rice cake (entil) on this holiday. The food is unique as it is known as entil, delicious taste can make people addicted. Because intended for consumption on Nyepi, it is only done once a year.Entil making process is like preparing rice cakes. Its main ingredient is rice or brown rice. The difference between ENTIL and rice LONTONG is generally how they are packed - Longtong are wrapped in banana leaves or coconut leaves, but Entil are wrapped in the leaves of telangi (telengidi or nyelep), which looks like elongated galangal leaves. The leaves can be found in the fields or the forest edge in the local village. It is said makes sense entil leaves are very tasty, although no salt or other seasonings. Telengidi leaves believed to make sense entil be more comfortable. Because the substance of green color in the leaves soak into the rice when cooked, the resulting entil have a greenish color.Entil it can last up to four days. People can make it in different sizes. However, the size is generally small, making it easy to eat. Making entil has been a tradition performed before Nyepi (Hindu forbidden to cook during Nyepi). The menu is also accompanied by natural dishes such as marinated chicken, shredded coconut and roasted peanuts. People can also add it to vegetable fry, but there must be shredded coconut (Urap or Serundeng). A family usually makes up to 2kg entil. This number is expected to feed a family during the days of exile (Nyepi).In addition to tempting the appetite, in fact entil have high philosophy. This philosophy is based on a double pile. This indicates that when celebrating Nyepi, or the traditional village should control their minds, and then focused on the presence of their Lord. In addition to being served on Nyepi, entil usually used as a souvenir when visiting family or other relatives after Nyepi.After the ceremony and set Ngembak Geni Nyepi (the day after Nyepi where Hindus have completed the self-purification), local people visit each other, including families living outside the village. When gathered together, entil is prepared for prizes. In addition to being delicious and natural, entil is a cheap food and cholesterol free.Due to much demand, are now presented as a menu entil typical food in the sights of Mount Batukaru in Pupuan Tabanan so that tourists can enjoy it without waiting for the celebration of Nyepi come (once a year).This menu includes a complete meal - because it contains carbohydrates (entil), vegetables (urap), side dishes (jejeruk) and along with serundeng. But sorry, in this menu there are no photographs of the cooking process, because I cooked this dish before I knew about the COOKPAD app.

I got these Kaffir leaves on amazon couldn't find any where so I wanted to taste what I been missing forever

Needed something easy, and to use up some of the fresh basil growing like crazy in pots on my patio. So i took a Thai Basil Chicken, modified it slightly to use easier to find ingredients (in the USA), use one pan, and it cooks in like 10 minutes. Just watch the salt with the soy and fish sauce.

Although I used to add a lot of ingredients to give the dish more color, I tried making it with just a few ingredients and it tasted just as good.I've been making it the simple way ever since. (I don't have Thai rice so I just make it with regular white rice. It's still tasty!)The carnivorous monster (my husband) loves this too.-I removed the skin from the chicken as I am not fond of it. (The chicken meat weighed 250 g without the skin.)-Red, yellow or green bell peppers will add appetizing colors and taste.-Don't heat it once the basil has been added in order to preserve its aroma.-If you like spicy food, adjust the amount of chilli (red hot pepper) to your liking. For 2 servings. Recipe by putimiko
