Questions, Comments & Reviews


Tried this tonight and really liked the flavor. The fish sauce, although it doesn't smell wonderful, blends nicely with the rice and doesn't leave the initial fishy smell in the final dish. . . no additional salt is needed either, since the flavorful rice ingredients and cilantro takes care of the great taste. Thanks for the recipe.
