Turkey Rice 火雞肉飯

[Utenya]

A long time lurker here, but finally getting off my lazy butt to post!

With all the turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it reminded me of how much I missed turkey rice (火雞肉飯) that I ate from street stands in Chiayi (嘉義), Taiwan. It was shredded turkey with shallots and some sort of sweet sauce over rice.

I tried making it the other night, carmelizing shallots, deglazing with soy sauce, chicken stock and adding some salt and sugar. It didn't come out quite like what I remembered. There was little or no sauce, and quite a bit darker than the one I ate.

Does anyone know the recipe for this?

Here's a picture of this delectable comfort food:

You should also post this in the China Cooking & Baking forum where I am sure you will find people with a lot of experience about street food in Taiwan. Cheers.

Thank you, I will try there. Wasn't sure where to put the topic.
