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.
