I agree with many other reviewers here, and give this recipe a full 5 stars! This is both delicious and healthy, and does not give you that "heavy" feeling after eating. A most delicious taste! I followed the directions as stated and made no exceptions or changes. The meat I used was from a freshly grilled chicked I purchased at the supermarket. Perfect! Thank you, Deb!

This was the dish I chose for the ZWT Asian Low Fat challenge so I did make a lot of changes to it but the flavor was still there! I subbed tofu for the meat, reduced the oil, used egg substitute, etc. In spite of all that, it was very tasty for a vegetarian main dish! Thanks for allowing me to tinker with your T&T recipe.

A delicious and wonderfully versatile rice dish - with fabulously clear instructions - which I'm pleased to add to recipes which I know I'll make again, and no doubt make differently each time. Because, on this occasion, I was serving it with Sharon123’s Lamb in a Greek Way Recipe #133491, I omitted the meat and added two cups of finely sliced mushrooms. I also used 4 cloves of garlic, which I'll probably do next time, but apart from that, anything's possible. Thanks for sharing!
