We brought some alligator meat back from a visit to New Orleans, and had been searching for a way to use it. This really fit the bill! We think it would be equally good using pork or chicken, and we used one jalapeno in the rice, since super spicy food isn't something that is universally tolerated in our household.

My father gave me a bunch of alligator meat and the first time I tried it I fried it. It wasn't terribly bad...tasted like pork. Being that I am not a big fried food eater I came to this website (as I always do for alternatives to frying and stumpled across this recipe. I was not disappointed. I was worried the meat would taste gamey but I could tell immediately from the aroma of the kumquats that it would be fine. This dish accentuates the flavor of the gator-very moist. I used habeneros and serranos instead of thai chilis, as it is hard to get those peppers in GA. It was fine for me but my boyfriend a juvenile in the world of feiry dishes had to eat his dinner a little slower and with lots of milk. I thought this recipe was fantastic and I have already recommended it to 4 people. I love all of Ming Tsai's recipes.

I too used chicken instead of alligator and tangerines instead of kumquats. It was delicious. And easy. The rice is wonderful and works with so many other main courses. It's become a regular in our recipe rotation, everyone loves it!

I tried this recipe, first with gator and then with chicken (since gator is hard to come by in NJ and both were excellent. I love bird chilies, but reducing the number used is a good idea for those who do not since they can be quite hot(it is just as good with 1/2 the #.

I follow this recipe exactly but I use pork instead of alligator. I make it often for my family and they all love it. It is probably my favorite recipe from the Food Network.
