Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi Bowl
Sautéed ground pork infused with aromatic lemongrass and ginger, served over fluffy rice with crisp pickled vegetables and a zesty lime finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz ground pork (93% lean)
0.25 cup cooked white rice
1 tbsp minced lemongrass
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp tamari
1 tsp fish sauce
0.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
0.25 cup shredded carrots
0.25 cup shredded daikon radish
0.25 cup sliced cucumber
1 tbsp rice vinegar
0.25 tsp honey
0.25 cup fresh cilantro
1 medium jalapeno
1 medium lime
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar and honey. Toss in the shredded carrots and daikon radish, then set aside to quick-pickle while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Heat the toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns.
Once the pork is mostly browned, stir in the minced lemongrass, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the aromatics are fragrant and the pork is fully cooked through.
Pour the tamari and fish sauce over the pork mixture, stirring well to coat the meat evenly and deglaze the pan.
Scoop the warm cooked white rice into a serving bowl. Top with the savory lemongrass pork and the drained quick-pickled vegetables.
Garnish the bowl with sliced cucumber, fresh cilantro leaves, and jalapeno rounds. Serve immediately with lime wedges for a bright, citrusy finish.
