My husband comes up with a lot of the savory recipes on this blog. This Thai Coconut Rice is one of his creations. He loved it so much that he declared, “This ranks right up there with the Peanut Noodle Stir Fry!” If you have made that recipe, then you know that is a high compliment. He made this a little spicy, but you can certainly omit the jalapeno pepper if you don’t want the heat. Some of the other recipes he has made are Homemade Sriracha and Sweet Potato Chili.
This Thai Coconut Rice is pretty easy to make. It’s vegan and gluten free too.
