Umami Ginger Pork Bowls

⏱️ 30 min 🍽️ 2 servings

Cooking Tips

For perfect rice, once water boils, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat. Resist peeking. Let the pot sit off the heat for a few minutes before serving to allow moisture to redistribute, resulting in tender, fluffy grains. If doubling protein or veggies, cook in batches and follow visual/temperature cues, as cook times may be longer.

Mise en Place

Prepare Produce

Wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop 2 Clove(s) (or 4 Clove(s)) of garlic. Trim and thinly slice 2 (or 4) scallions, separating whites from greens and mincing the whites. Quarter 1 lime.

Open and Drain Meat

Open package of 10 oz (or 20 oz) ground pork, chicken breast, or ground beef (as needed) and drain off any excess liquid.

Measure Ingredients

Measure out ¾ cup (or 1½ cups) jasmine rice, 4 oz (or 8 oz) red cabbage and carrot mix, 8 tbsp (or 16 tbsp) umami ginger sauce, 1 tsp (or 2 tsp) brown sugar, and 1 TBSP (or 2 TBSP) butter for both the rice and pork mixture. Make sure Kosher salt and cooking oil are accessible.

Get Out Cooking Equipment

Set out a small pot with a tight-fitting lid for rice, and a large nonstick pan for cooking the pork mixture. Prepare necessary utensils including knife, cutting board, measuring spoons, measuring cups, and a mixing spoon.

Cooking Steps

Prep the produce

Wash and dry produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Quarter lime.

Cook the garlic rice

Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 10-15 seconds. Stir in jasmine rice, 1¼ cups water (2½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Cook the pork mixture

Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground pork, 1 tsp brown sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and ¾ tsp salt (1½ tsp for 4). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

Swap for other proteins (optional)

If using chopped chicken breast or ground beef instead of pork, open package and drain off any excess liquid. Cook as instructed in previous step, swapping in chosen protein (no need to break up chicken into pieces).

Add veggies and sauce

Once pork (or other protein) is cooked through, add red cabbage and carrot mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Add umami ginger sauce and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is saucy and veggies are softened, about 1 minute. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until butter has melted and the mixture is glossy and evenly coated.

Finish the rice

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings).

Build the bowls and serve

Divide rice between bowls and top with pork mixture. Garnish with scallion greens. Top with a squeeze of lime juice and serve any remaining lime wedges on the side.
