Additional Information

Tips: Jasmine rice, or Thai rice, is a long-grain white rice with a subtle, nutty scent. Look for it in specialty, Asian or health-food grocery stores and some supermarkets.
Coconut milk can be found in cans or in the powdered form. Any leftover liquid milk can be frozen in ice cube trays, then transferred to freezer bags to add to curries or soups.
