    Cooked this yesterday. Didn't have a tin of coconut milk so dissolved 1/3 of a pack of coconut cream with water and cooked it as per recipe. It was so easy and the Thai taste was lovely. We both enjoyed it and will certainly cook again. It was quite a cheap recipe too as the prawns were on special offer at just £2.00 for 175gms and I had all the other ingredients in the fridge or cupboard.

    Very yummy! I made it for dinner, and although it is technically spring I did not feel like a cold meal for dinner. I followed the recipe, but did not cool down the rice before stirring in the fish sauce and ginger. I then put the prawns on top to heat up in the steam and served it all warm topped with the chili and spring onions. My husband loved it and I will definitely make it again. The coconut milk adds a lovely creamy touch. I will actually think of serving this as a light starter in smaller portions, topped with carrot sticks and peppers.
