Recipe Warnings

Source Integrity Warning: The source says to serve the dish with rice, but rice is not included in the source ingredient list or Mise It.

Source Integrity Warning: The source uses all cilantro in the prep list, then also says to garnish with cilantro at the end. The garnish quantity is not clearly separated in the source.

Consumer Note: “Sweet soya sauce” is listed in the source. Keep the source wording unless you want to standardize it to a specific product type later.
