Method

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then boil it until tender; rinse and mix the rice with the ground¹ turkey, and form small meatballs.

2. Prepare for steaming: set up a colander over a pot of boiling water with a lid, and bring the water to a boil.

3. Place the meatballs and carrot⁶ rounds in the colander over the boiling water, cover and steam for 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the carrots are tender.

4. Rinse the potatoes³, then boil until soft, about 15–20 minutes.

5. Drain the potatoes³, mash with milk⁴ and butter⁵, and whip until soft and smooth; the mash should be fluffy with no large lumps.

6. Spoon the mashed potatoes³ onto a plate, top with the steamed meatballs and carrot⁶ rounds, and serve hot.
