I would like to start out by saying I absolutely love this dish. It took me back to my days in Okinawa. I was a young Marine stationed there on Fatima. The first time I left base just outside the gate was a little restaurant called My House. I absolutely fell in love with the teriyaki chicken. The very next time I went to this restaurant it was suggested I try taco rice. I could not get enough. I would visit the restaurant at least twice a week for the teriyaki chicken and taco rice. When thinking about this dish on my couch the other night many years later. I found you on UA-cam. When I made this recipe at home it took me back to those days. Thank you, I will continue to watch your Channel and get taken back to the dishes that I remember from those days.
I’m a retired Marine of 30 years service and I have been to Okinawa and I have had the pleasure of eating a lot of taco rice. Camp Hansen is the best place to get some.❤
Stationed in camp kinser over 20 years ago. Absolutely love taco rice amongst other dishes i tried living there for 3 years. Thank you so much for posting this.
Glad I stumbled on this recipe and video. When I was in the Marines in Okinawa back in 1996, I used to eat this a lot. Haven't had it in years. I printed the recipe out and I am going to show it to my wife. Thank you for posting this.
We were looking at all the recipes on your website too. She really wishes you had a physical cookbook, but she plans on getting a tablet and purchasing your e-cookbook.
Thank you John! We are working full time for maintaining the site and youtube channel and we have no time... maybe one day when kids are off to college. :D
I had my first taste of Taco Rice when I was an 19 year old Marine serving on Okinawa in 1970. The story I heard about how this became a popular dish with Marines and it was when a very intoxicated young Marine convinced a restaurant cook to make it for him. And somehow it became a Marine legend.😋🇺🇸
Hi Donna! Yeah, Mr. JOC and I are a bit worried about the combination too. We were pleasantly surprised how good it was... It was more like comforting... maybe because of rice? LOL.
Hi Nami ! I love this recipe and its a favourite with my kids too . I add cubed avocado on the top and a small dollop of sourcream. A great mix of Japan and Mexico. Thanks for sharing your great videos and recipes 💞
Thank you for sharing your beautiful wonderful show I like what I see I never made taco rice but I would love to do it I saw your show so I'm going to do my taco I hope and I pray it comes out just like yours you're very delicious thank you my lady chef and they call me Noona🍱🍱🍱
I really love Taco Rice. Whenever there's lunch delivery in the office before and taco rice is in the menu I always get it. haha! It's quite easy to make and so yummy.
Nami-san in my opinion , I think it will be a great summer refreshing dish , since it's so hot in here !!! Thank you so very much for uploading sure a great recipe :D!
I used to live in Okinawa when my dad was in the Air Force, we was there for 8 years my parents picked up some Japanese dishes to try. My mom used to make yaki soba, my dad still make lumpia here and there, when we make taco we usually make taco rice.
I make a similar dish since I don't really like flour and corn tortillas! Sometimes I add fresh avocado and a fried egg! After watching your video I want to make a taco rice bowl! Thanks!
I've been meaning to try taco rice for years. No more excuses, I need to try your recipe. I'll substitute soy chorizo for the ground beef. I bet Karami would be an extra delicious topping too. Thanks for this delicious recipe, Nami-san!
So when I came back from Okinawa I td my wife I was going to cook her a favorite dish from there. She was thinking fish heads or something else and when she saw it she started laughing. This and yakisoba were my go to meals when there....after I been drinking
My daughter (10) is pretty helpful and always want to bake. My son (12) likes to make breakfast for us on weekends, but not so into daily cooking. It's wonderful you have a inspired mini cook in the kitchen! xo

That place was so good. I once went down that hill on bicycle with no front brakes.

RICE IS LIFE!!! As an asian, I can't live without riceee. #ricelove ❤
I just made this but added more veggies like mixed corn,carrots and peas plus chopped red bell peppers. It’s still so good and more filling! 😍
I've been wanting to make this for so long! I used your recipe and my sister absolutely can't get enough of it. Thank you!

Oh, I LOVE taco rice! At first I thought it was strange to eat a taco mixture over rice but we grew to love it! Thank you for sharing your version!
Hi Donna! Yeah, Mr. JOC and I are a bit worried about the combination too. We were pleasantly surprised how good it was... It was more like comforting... maybe because of rice? LOL.

Love your receipts and use them. Thank you so much!!!!
HI Nami, I love taco's. I will have to try this recipe, what's not to love? ♥
Hope you enjoy this recipe Amanda!
That tomato is beautiful. This is how I make taco salad, just using tortilla chips instead of rice! 😊
Hope you try it with rice! Kind of strange combination but surprisingly delicious!
Yum! I am making this with veggie crumbles instead! 😋
That sounds fantastic! Hope you enjoy!
This was great I make this a lot but didn't know it had a name so thanks a lot. I love your video
That's wonderful that you're already making this popular Okinawan dish! Thank you for watching my video!
I've been meaning to try taco rice for years. No more excuses, I need to try your recipe. I'll substitute soy chorizo for the ground beef. I bet Karami would be an extra delicious topping too. Thanks for this delicious recipe, Nami-san!
Mr. JOC had it with Karami and loved it. I thought it's better without it (taste stays more Japanese in a way). :D Hope you give it a try. ;)
WOW! I can't wait to try this one! Thank you for sharing!
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you! So far I've LOVED all the recipes! ^_^ I can't wait to cook it for my family and loved ones!

Nami-San another amazing recipe. Have you ever thought about writing a book ? You should do it . Really ^^
Thank you Rafael! It's in our thoughts, but improving the blog and youtube is always our priority. :) Thank you so much for your interest!

So delicious 😍😍😋
Thank you, Rushi!

Hope you enjoy! :)
I had no idea something like this existed! 😲
I knew it's existed in Okinawa, but never had it until I went there last December. It's pretty good and we enjoyed it!
It looks delicious
Thank you Gaby!
That look good taco salad the Asian way 😂
Oh yeah! I actually didn’t expect much but I liked it. Rice and meat goes well and even with the cheese (similar to Japanese Doria).
Would work well with ground chicken, turkey or pork....nice quick dish !!!! Corie
Hi Corie! Yes! Hope you enjoy this recipe! :)
I do not like cilantro. Can you omit it from this recipe?
That looks tasty! This would be good with some jalapeno!
Hi Maria! Thank you! Yeah, definitely if you enjoy the spice. Japanese dish is usually not spicy. :D
oh I did not know that!! Now that I think about it, you're right! I never noticed before
So the beef doesn't need marination at all?
Not for this. :)
Just try by now...
Thank you for watching the video, Ken!
uuuhhh oyishi desne
Arigato Chantal! xoxo
LOL I was expecting tako rice, not taco rice 😅. Will give a try tough, looks delicious!
Haha, yeah, we have Tako Meshi (= octopus rice)! Thank you for your kind words!
well i'll be damned o_o
I thought its "tako rice"
yo estoy aquí por las tortillas, dónde están las pinches tortillas???
Original tacos from México, USA copy and fake
This is Okinawa style. 🙂 Hope you will give it a try!
thanks for recipe、ありがとう
