Have you had taco rice? A lady is looking for a recipe to make it. "My daughter spent 2 years in Okinawa and one of her favorite dishes is called taco rice. Does anyone have a recipe?"

I have been looking for the correct rice, but this is a close recipe for taco rice.
Japanese Taco Rice
2 cups white rice
1 tablespoon lite soy sauce
1 cup finely shredded lettuce
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces salsa, thick and chunky
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 pound ground beef
1 large tomato, diced
Begin cooking rice, according to package directions. Brown hamburger. Add soy sauce, garlic and onion salt, salt and pepper to taste. Drain off grease. Add cooked rice to the beef, mixing well. Cook mixture about 5 minutes on low.
In separate bowls, layer beef/rice, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa.
Tips: Make sure you get all the grease out. Make sure the rice is soft and sticky!
Just so you know, I lived in Oki too, and the meat isn’t mixed with the rice…it’s layered, leaving the rice white and clean. Rice, Meat, Cheese (to melt on meat) then lettuce, then taco sauce…even though it would be good with sour cream, it was never served to me that way. And yes, the key is the well-made sticky white rice. Good luck to you!
