This rice is the best; it is full of flavor. I created it using my favourite seasonings. When made with Jasmine rice, it makes a wonderful side dish. I hope that you will enjoy it. Don't let the long list of ingredients deter you - it's worth it. You can always sub or omit if you don't like an ingredient. If you can't find lemongrass or lime leaves, sub with a piece of lemon and lime rind instead. It won't taste the same but it's better than omitting them. Please don't leave the cilantro out, it ties all the flavors together.
