The magazine says that the servings are so big that rice isn't a necessary side dish... but feel free if it is something that you would like and can afford the extra calories. Maybe split it into three servings and eat it with some rice?!

It also says that if you like spicier food add red pepper flakes to the marinade! It says that spicy ingredients help "rev up" your metabolism.
