I usually use white rice, but you can use whatever type of rice you like. This dish will work well with brown rice or jasmine rice as well.

If you have ground turkey on hand or find it on sale, you can absolutely make this recipe using it instead. It is a great way to add different nutrition to the recipe or use ingredients you already have on hand.

I enjoyed this meal I had doubled up on the meat so I doubled up on the seasonings which was a huge mistake i did low sodium soy and added the recommended salt It was quite salty but paired with the rice honestly wasn’t that bad. Now I know for the next time I make it I won’t double up the seasoning. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much Leanore for sharing! I’m glad you did enjoy this recipe. I hope next time it will be a bit better. :)
