Thai Style Lime Pilaf

---

Oh, yum! My version of trader joe's. I was down to my last bag of tj's lime pilaf and dreaded the long (2hr) drive for more. Decided to try to recreate, this is what i came up with. Hope you enjoy as much as i do! Cook times are approximate, you may need to adjust for your stove/cookware and elevation.
