Almost the best butter ever. That prize goes to Lurpack IMHO. Odds are the grocery store you find Kerrygold in also has Danish Lurpack - which comes salted and unsalted for cooking.

I grew up on both in England - both our outstanding compared with American butter - which frankly - doesn't taste like butter at all to me.

i made this tonight - it was good. simple, but tasty. i cooked it on high-heat in a wok instead of low-heat in a frying pan as suggested. i don't like using olive oil at high heat and normally use coconut oil for such an occasion. the coconut oil impart a fabulous background flavour in the delicate rice.
