1. To begin, let’s prepare the coconut rice. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, sea salt, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

2. While the coconut rice is cooking, let’s prepare the ginger lime pork. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Next, add the ground pork to the pan. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink.

4. Now, it’s time to add the flavor! Stir in the brown sugar, lime juice, and sriracha. Mix everything together until the pork is evenly coated. Let the pork cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow for caramelization on the bottom. Stir and repeat for another 1–2 minutes to achieve even more delicious caramelization.

5. Taste the pork and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional sriracha if desired.

6. To serve, scoop the caramelized ginger lime pork over the fluffy coconut rice. Garnish the dish with chopped peanuts, the green parts of the scallions, fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, or Thai basil, and extra lime wedges.
