Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lime. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and chili sauce to taste.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and a big pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in carrots, sesame dressing, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4 servings), and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze; we sent more.) Cook until carrots are softened, pork is cooked through, and sauce has thickened, 2-4 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
Swap beef or turkey for pork.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls; top with pork mixture and any remaining sauce from pan. Drizzle with sweet chili mayo and sprinkle with crispy fried onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the bold, delicious taste, though some found it a bit too salty or mild. Adjust seasoning to preference.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to throw together, with several noting it took less than 15 minutes to make 🎉.
- Suggestions: Consider adding more veggies like broccoli, zucchini, or bok choy for variety. Drain excess fat from the beef.
- Portions: Some felt the meat-to-rice ratio was off; adding more protein or reducing rice could help balance the dish.
- Versatility: Works well with ground turkey or shrimp instead of beef. Try cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
Reviews from our home cooks
Sauces were delicious, beef was high quality, and the onions were an amazing topper!
Very good. Bold flavor and was quick and easy to make.
This recipe needs more vegetables, so I added broccoli to mix with the carrots. Much improved!
Simple ingredients but when put together created an amazing meal with great flavor!!
I was not a fan of the carrots in here, would prefer bok choy or another veggie, but overall it tasted amazing!
We substituted cauliflower rice and the meal was awesome! We would order this again for sure!
Must drain fat from beef!! This should be in all recipes involving ground beef and pork. Needs another veg in the mix. I added zucchini. Not veggie-forward enough.
Perfect melody of texture, flavor, and nutritional value. My tastes buds are delighted and my body nourishes. Wasn't sure about the kale but when cooked to directions adds a wonderful element to the dish.
Love this bowl. It's very similar to another asian bowl, I think there was a minor variation in the ingredients. This is a family favorite now.
One of our favorite recipes. We eat the leftovers for breakfast. Totally yummy!
