Vertion with meat
Any rice can be served, but the more glutinous the better. If you decide to make the meat version, you must pass the meat through a mincer. In a skillet, sauté until done and drain off any liquid. When it has cooled, mix with the rest of the ingredients. You can also take advantage of meat left over from other food to chop it and make the carnivorous version of this dish so fresh. It can be served with or without lettuce leaves , with cucumber pieces , with peanuts
