Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice lime.
  • Thinly slice cucumber.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
Marinate veggies
3
  • In a large bowl, whisk together half the nuoc cham, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add cucumbers and carrots to marinade. Toss to combine.
Cook turkey
4
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add turkey. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Add brown sugar. Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until starting to caramelize.
  • Add ginger-garlic puree and soy sauce. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant and liquid evaporates.
  • Remove from heat. 
  • Add remaining nuoc cham. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish and serve
5
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the cilantro and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest.
  • Drain marinated veggies over a small bowl. 
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with turkey and marinated veggies. (TIP: Drizzle remaining marinade over top, if you like.)
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro and crispy shallots over top.

If you've opted to get turkey, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the pan, then add turkey. Cook turkey in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook beef.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
