Cooking method

• To cook rice, pour water into a small saucepan, take the amount of water in accordance with the recommendations on the package.

• Bring the water to a boil, add the zucchini, peeled and chopped on a coarse grater (you don't need to peel the zucchini if ​​you don't want to hide it in the dish, the beautiful green color will give an additional accent to the finished dish) and washed rice. Add salt to taste, but still use much less salt than you are used to, as meat and vegetables will be cooked with soy sauce.

And the zucchini in the rice is not felt?

Tosha, according to reviews about the dish: "no, just delicious rice"(from). Thai rice has a characteristic sweetish-fruity (sometimes they say "floral") aroma and taste, zucchini, as an ingredient, enhances these qualities of rice, defining rice in the foreground, and itself is a harmonious background. My guess is that by adding unpeeled zucchini or zucchini, the flavor may be more pronounced in the dish.
