When it comes to cuisine, I am not picky! I love Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Greek…really anything. And when I travel abroad I love trying new foods and dishes from different cultures.
I’ve been to Asia twice (China in high school and the Philippines in college) and have always wanted to go back since it is so vast and has so many different places to explore. One place that has piqued my interest recently is Thailand! After watching the Netflix show, Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father, I wanted to travel there even more.
The scenery, the culture, the climate…the FOOD. Everything about it seemed right up my alley and like some place I would really enjoy going.
With Thailand on my mind, I was inspired to create some homemade Thai food. Since I’m not there yet, I might as well enjoy some of their tasty cuisine at home, right?
Luckily, I was sent some authentic Thai jasmine rice in the mail from Mahatma to try out. Have you had it before? If not, you’re missing out! This stuff is the REAL deal.
Mahatma Jasmine Rice is a long grain exotic rice imported directly from Thailand. When I cooked it, it filled my apartment with the most amazing delicate and natural Jasmine aroma scent. It’s amazingly soft and delicious even after being cooled and chilled in the refrigerator. Perfect for the dip creation I had in mind!
Have you ever had a rice dip before? Unlike regular dips, rice based ones are incredibly hearty and filling! With the right pairings, you could even make a meal out them.
My Thai Coconut Rice Dip marries all the flavors you love about Thai cuisine including curry paste, coconut, lime, cilantro, and ginger with creamy rich Greek yogurt for the ultimate decadent dip.
