Notes

While this is a 'quick' recipe and only requires 30 minutes of marinade time for the meat for the absolute best flavor, cover and refrigerate overnight.
A drizzle of sriracha is a delicious addition as a garnish.
The meat will cook very quickly so you want to have your rice ready before you start it.
