Not your typical rice dish. Rice, meat, and a sweet/savory/sharp dressing combine to make a dish that will be enjoyed by all. Can be prepared a day in advance.
1 and 1/2 cups raw rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
oil, for sautéing
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, cubed
1 pound (1/2 kilogram) chopped meat
2 and 1/2 to 3 and 1/2 tablespoons Gefen Soy Sauce
2 and 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
chopped scallions
carrot curls
In a medium-sized pot, cook rice according to package directions. Set aside.
Meanwhile, sauté garlic and onion in a small amount of oil over a low heat until golden.
Add chopped meat and cook until meat is no longer pink and is thoroughly cooked through, about 12–15 minutes. Mix constantly, pressing the meat down and breaking apart as you stir, so it gets thoroughly done. Add this mixture to the rice.
Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper to the pot and mix all together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in a handful of chopped scallions.
Garnish with carrot curls for crunch and color.

Indonesian rice I realize the impact the meat makes, but would it be possible to subsitute sauted mushrooms instead? I would like to serve this as a side and one of my “customers” doesn’t like ground meat.
