This is not jambalaya . This is a stir fry dish. Jambalaya is a rice dish. There is no rice in this recipe. Please stop ruining our recipe's. Look for our cookbooks and learn about how our food is prepared before you make a recipe and call it jambalaya, Disney tried to ruin our gumbo too and that did not go over well.
