Ingredients
- 200 g ground turkey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1.5 tbsp honey
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 each bay leaf
- 64.3 g jasmine rice
- 150 g spinach
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Method
- 01In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine ground turkey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and bay leaf. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, ensuring internal temperature reaches 160 F/71 C, about 8-10 minutes.
- 02Add honey and rice vinegar to the pan with the turkey. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy, sticky adobo glaze.
- 03Meanwhile, steam the jasmine rice with 150 ml water in a covered saucepan or rice cooker until tender and fluffy, about 15 minutes.
- 04In a separate small skillet, add fresh spinach with a tablespoon of water over medium heat. Cover and steam for 1-2 minutes until just wilted and bright green.
- 05To serve, place steamed jasmine rice on a plate, spoon the adobo-glazed turkey alongside, and arrange wilted spinach next to it. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.
