I began with the 2-pot method and then just dumped everything into one pot except the fish which I added last after everything else was cooked. I am not a seafood lover but hubby is and I wanted to try this just for him. Boy was I in for a surprise! I really like this dish! I used flounder b/c that is what I had in the freezer. The raw carrots didn't sound appealing to me so they were cooked in the broth w/the rice. Great dish truly in my opinion. HippieChick Chapel Hill NC
Good Idea This recipe reminded me of Thai food my mom makes so I went with the basics- sweet salty sour bitter and hot. Add in some soy sauce sugar extra lemon... Basically find yourself another recipe. This recipe is a great base if you want to play around with technique and flavors. Pros: Quick Easy Basic Cons: Bland
did not like at all! Did not like this recipe at all.
Delicious! For someone who doesn't cook often it was easy to make. So easy that I was skeptical in how it would taste. But it turned out great! Toni Los Angeles CA
Very good basic recipe We had just made some fish stock so this was a perfect recipe. We had turbot so that's the fish I used. Bulghur is faster to make than rice - I just put it into a bowl with some boiling water and let that steam while doing the rest. Added chile pepper flakes for more heat. It was really tasty. Would definitely make again (with veg stock if I didn't have fish stock). Pros: Easy
Substituted Chicken Broth After reading the reviews that mentioned the broth was bland we substituted the chicken broth with Pacific Foods Chicken Pho Soup Starter. It provided depth and complexity.
Followed the recipe and used barley instead of rice as suggested in one of the comments. The broth was very bland and needed more flavor - I'd suggest doubling the lemon juice and zest and perhaps adding jalapenos for flavor. will not make again Needs more lemon San Diego CA
Very good with adjustment I reduced the amount of chicken broth and added a bottle of clam juice. It really added some depth to the flavor.
We all loved it. I used Barley instead of rice and it was extremely easy to make. EAT Randolph NJ
