Description
A flavorful recipe for Ginger Lime Pork served with creamy coconut rice, perfect for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and pork slices. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and browned.
- Serve the ginger lime pork over the coconut rice, garnished with sliced green onions and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For added heat, include sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes in the marinade.
- Substitute chicken or tofu for the pork to customize the dish to your preference.
