  • 5 cups cooked long-grain rice

  10. Yum-o!
  11. Based on NataschAnn's helpful comments I have made some improvements to this recipe.
  12. Firstly, I have changed step 6 to read "cilantro" instead of "coriander".
  13. They are one in the same, in Australia we call it coriander, and that's what I had written in the ingredients section.
  14. However, the Zaar's automatic ingredient formatter changed my coriander to cilantro and confusion has ensued!
  15. That'll learn me -- Second, I have rewritten step 7 so it is clearer to understand.
  16. The original intent of this recipe is to keep the rice separate from the chicken mixture, but really it's up to you - feel free to combine them before spooning into the lettuce, like in Stormylee's pic (which is beautiful by the way, thank you Stormylee!).
  17. I hope this clears up any issues.
  18. Thanks again for the constructive criticism.
