Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced
2 tbsp honey
1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp oil for cooking

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine ginger, garlic, lime juice, and honey. Pour over the pork in a resealable bag. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Prepare the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until tender.
Cook the Pork: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade (discard marinade) and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Rest and Serve: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Fluff coconut rice with a fork and serve alongside sliced pork, garnished with lime wedges or cilantro.
