Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) Pork Tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • Zest and juice of 2 Limes
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • Lime Wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Add the pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  7. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill or sear for 6-8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice pork tenderloin and serve over creamy coconut rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Chicken can be substituted for pork.
