1-Step 1: Start with the Coconut Rice Begin cooking the coconut rice as it takes the longest, allowing time for the flavors to develop. Combine jasmine rice with coconut milk, a hint of sugar, and sea salt in a pot, then simmer until tender. This base complements the ginger lime pork perfectly, adding a creamy texture to your meal.

2-Step 2: Cook the Pork Mixture Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the white parts of 3 thinly sliced scallions, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add 1 1/2 pounds ground pork and break it up as it cooks until it’s no longer pink, which brings out the essence of this lime pork dish.

3-Step 3: Add Flavors and Caramelize Once the pork is cooked, stir in 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon sriracha. Let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to caramelize, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes for that sticky texture. Season with fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the lime juice if you want more zing in your ginger lime pork.

4-Step 4: Serve and Garnish Serve the warm pork over the cooked coconut rice for a balanced meal. Top with the green parts of the scallions, chopped peanuts, extra lime wedges, and fresh herbs like cilantro or mint. This step elevates the dish, making it not just tasty but visually appealing too.
