Final Comments


For vegetarian, use a vegetarian flavour, omit beef and add corn or mushrooms. For a hotter rice add chopped chillis.

For a satay variation add chicken instead of beef and frozen veg of your choice instead of beans and serve with chili, cucumber, cabbage and carrot sprinkled (raw) over the top
