I thought it paired well with the steak and mango/chile salad. Next time I will add a tad more ginger and maybe a bit more milk. It tasted great but thought it could use just a bit more umph.

I thought this was delicious. I used brown jasmine rice so I had to adjust the liquid and cook time a bit but the extra nutrition was well worth the extra time! This paired perfectly with the Grilled Sirloin Steak with Mango and Chile Salad from the same issue.
