This looks so delicious! Can I ask where you got the "thai fish sauce"? Was it a grocery store or specialty store find?
Thanks!

I get mine at Whole Foods Market, but I'm pretty sure major grocery stores carry it as well.

I'm sorry, but I'm really new to this. When you say watch closely do I stir? do i turn it off???

Thanks a bunch!

No, no, no, don't stir it. Watch closely means: start peeking at it after 3 hours as it cooks up fast and may not take the whole 4 hours to cook. When it looks like all the rice has absorbed the liquid, turn it off (or to warm).
