      Solid recipe. Added 1 1/2 T ketchup to boost the tomato taste as well as add light sweetness to the meat mixture. 1/2 tsp fish sauce also added to increase umami.

      Very quick and easy supper. I used what I had to hand so didn't follow the recipe precisely - chicken sausage instead of cooked pork and zucchini instead of green pepper. But it was tasty. I liked the method of mixing the soy/hoisin/rice vinegar mixture into the rice as it fries - it gave a good depth of flavor. This recipe would be very adaptable to whatever leftovers you had around.
