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.
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.

Reviews from our home cooks
We were missing two ingredients. The sweet Thai chili sauce and the sesame dressing were both missing. Luckily I was able to whip up alternatives with ingredients I had at home using Google for recipe alternatives. It ended up being delicious, but really disappointing to be missing not one, but two key ingredients.
As usual, I left out the butter and the dish was still GREAT. So, so easy to prep and cook and the flavors blended together well. The shredded carrots were a nice touch!
Great flavors. Next time I will make a little extra sweet chili mayo to add to the top.
I liked the crispy onions on this for texture and the lime for flavor, but my lime was so dry it hardly had any juice.
So much more flavorful than the Turkey bowls I used to make from scratch. Everyone in the family raved about these!!!
Using turkey as the choice of meat is great. These bowls are wonderful, and one of my husband's favorite dishes.
Could use a little more heat for a sweet and spicy but red pepper flakes can be added!
Very easy recipe for such a great result. Family loved it!
Very tasty with chicken as a substitute protein. Easy to cook and the flavors were excellent.
I really liked the grated carrots - interesting textural element!
