Awesome!!! My wife and I really enjoy rice dishes, this was extraordinary!! We will definitely make this again. My wife and I do not care for green bell pepper, however I went ahead and used an entire red one. I think next time I will put some green onions in for flavor and appearance. Good job!!!

It is a flavorful dish without being packed with calories. I added green onions as suggested and I cooked mine in a rice cooker. I like the well-balanced flavor. It's impressive looking yet so easy to prepare. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
