This was strongly flavored with lime; maybe too much so...I added the ingredients to the water before it boiled, so maybe that was the problem. It was also very sticky, which I didn't anticipate. I added ginger, as another reviewer mentioned, but it was overly 'limey', IMO. Made for ZWT 5.

Not only a wonderfully quick and easy to prepare rice dish but also a very tasty one which was the perfect accompaniment to Lemon, Garlic and Basil Shrimp Skewers. Loved the lime and garlic flavours. I'll certainly be making this again post-ZWT: thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5.

So good! I didn't find the lime flavor too strong at all, so it may just be a matter of personal preference. I added a little grated ginger root, because I had it out for another recipe anyway, but other than that, stayed with it as written. We loved it.

I loved the lime flavour in this rice. It was served with Lovely Lime Baked Fish and I found that the flavour was delicate enough so as to not detract from the fish. I used brown rice and cooked it on the stove top. Made for Jammin' Java Jivers ZWT5.

DH and I were split on this one- he said 3 stars, I said 4 stars. I really liked how the lime flavor really came forward in this dish, but felt like it was still missing something, maybe some ginger, or more garlic. It would also be good with a light fish dish, that was also using lime as a flavor. I used my rice cooker to make this, adjusting the amount of water to the amount for my machine.

Made this as an accompaniment to Ginger-Honey Glazed Barbecued Pork Chops and it was tasty with a light flavor that enhance the meal without competing with the flavor of the protein. Since I don't eat white rice I prepared this with quick (15 minute) cooking brown rice and light butter. Great how much a simple addition can add to the results. Thanks Slatts!

This was really good. I love the taste of lime juice in this. I think it also went well with the garlic, especially since I added an extra garlic clove.

This had a very mild flavor until adding more lime juice and zest at the end. I cooked the recipe and the rice was mushy. It still made a nice sidedish for grilled chicken skewers If I were to make this again I would wait until the rice was cooked and add all the extras except for the garlic, which was fine cooked with the rice.
