Mongolian Beef
Sweet and Spicy Coconut Rice
I love rice, maybe not as much as potatoes but I could eat rice 5 times a week if it were possible. Add coconut to it and I am sold. For this reason I am always looking for ways to make rice more interesting. I loved this rice, it was perfect with a spicy curry. Hope you love it too.
HAPPY COOKING!!
