Hi There,<\/p>\n
I first\u00a0got to know about\u00a0this dish when I was in Okinawa Japan visiting my relatives there. I have all the while love Mexican dish, but how Japanese put a twist to this dish is beyond brilliant, It is a combination of Tacos & rice, so instead of using Tacos shell, you will put all the ingredients over the rice. Very quick & easy recipe.<\/p>\n
You might feel apprehensive initially, tacos + rice!? Tacos like Taco Bell Tacos!? yup, it is, but you will be a convert if you try this out once. It is a very popular dish in Japan, and in Singapore, if you head down to Okinawa Japanese restaurant like Nirai Kanai, Mimigar or En Japanese Dining, you will get to try this too.<\/p>\n
Fret not, you will still get to have your fix of tacos ingredients, the fresh lettuce, tomatoes, taco seasoned mince beef, cheddar cheese, all combined together and you will get a fuss free meal and better still, a balance meal of veges and meat. You can taste the sweetness of lettuce & tomatoes and the savory spicy beef.<\/p>\n
Basically what you will need will be :<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Old El Paso Taco Shells X 1 box (you can choose Jumbo shells or regular shells) <\/a><\/p>\n 1) Fry mince beef over high heat with just very little oil (1 tsp), pour in Taco powder and fry till fragrant and pour a little mirin (japanese sweet cooking wine or chinese cooking wine) to give some depth to the taco flavour<\/p>\n Tips : As mince beef after fried can become rather oily, I recommend to tilt the pan and scoop out the excess oil after frying the mince beef<\/p>\n 2) Next, finely chop up lettuce and tomatoes in cubes. <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 5) You can use this same ingredients on regular tacos or cook up taco rice like above.<\/p>\n The whole recipe is really quick and you can get a nutritious meal all in one.<\/p>\n This is also a great party recipe, using small portions instead and placing it on small spoons instead of bowls.<\/p>\n I further tweaked this recipe to a Korean BBQ beef version, but I will leave it on my next posting ^^<\/p>\n If you would like to know more cooking recipes or ideas, or simply\u00a0be posted on latest\u00a0supermarket deals & restaurants promotions, please subscribe to our mailing list for more updates ^^<\/p>\n Happy Cooking!<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n Dawn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi There, I first\u00a0got to know about\u00a0this dish when I was in Okinawa Japan visiting my relatives there.
