Prep

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Zest and quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.

2
Cook Rice

  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

3
Candy Peanuts

  • While rice cooks, heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 2 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring often, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

4
Cook Veggies

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 6-9 minutes.

  • Transfer veggies to a plate.

5
Cook Pork

  • Add a drizzle of oil to same pan over medium-high heat. Add pork*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes.

  • Break up meat into pieces and continue cooking until pork is cooked through, 2-4 minutes.

  • Stir in veggies, then add soy glaze, chili sauce, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until mixture is thoroughly coated, 1-2 minutes more.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Divide rice between bowls and top with pork mixture, peanuts, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
