Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, whisk together minced ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Place the pork in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over it, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- 2. Prepare coconut rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine rinsed rice and coconut milk with a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- 3. Cook coconut rice: Reduce heat to low once boiling, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice absorbs all liquid and becomes fluffy.
- 4. Grill or roast the pork: Preheat grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade) and grill for about 20 minutes or roast until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest for five minutes before slicing.
- 5. Serve: Fluff coconut rice with a fork and plate alongside sliced pork tenderloin drizzled with any resting juices.
