Ginger Lime Pork     

Ingredients:
1 batch coconut rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sriracha, or more/less to taste
fine sea salt
toppings: chopped peanuts, extra lime wedges, chopped cilantro

Preparation:
Prepare the coconut rice as directed.

While the rice is cooking, heat the oil over high heat in a large sauté pan. Add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the pork and use a wooden spoon to stir and break it up as it cooks.

Once the pork is no longer pink, add in the brown sugar, lime juice, sriracha and stir until evenly combined. Let the pork continue to cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes or until it caramelizes on the bottom. Stir, then let the pork cook undisturbed for 1-2 more minutes or until it caramelizes on the bottom.

Taste and season with salt and extra sriracha as needed. Serve warm over the coconut rice, garnished with your desired toppings.
