Coconut Thai Rice

I think this recipe came from canadian living magazine, but am not sure. The whole meal (which is comprised of recipe #239788, recipe #239892, recipe #239789 and recipe #239791) embodies the thai tradition of combining all the five tastes: sweet, hot, sour, salty and bitter in one meal.
