Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tbsp lime juice

1 ½ cup coconut milk

1 cup jasmine rice

1 tbsp vegetable oil

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

2 scallions, chopped

1 tsp brown sugar

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and grated ginger. Add pork tenderloin and marinate for at least 15 minutes, ensuring even coverage.

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, taking about 5 minutes per side for even cooking.

Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, pour coconut milk, stirring to deglaze the skillet and absorb the flavors.

Add jasmine rice to the skillet, ensuring the rice is well-coated with coconut milk, then cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.

Slice the pork tenderloin and return to the skillet. Sprinkle with brown sugar, salt, and pepper, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving and enjoy the combination of creamy rice and zesty pork.
