• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

• In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). Remove pan from heat. • Transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet. **Swap in chicken* or salmon* for pork. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook salmon (skin sides down) until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. (Skip roasting chicken or salmon.)**

• Toss green beans on opposite side of sheet from pork with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. • Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice crosswise. **Slice chicken crosswise (skip slicing salmon).**

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook until softened and slightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, chili sauce, ponzu, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in a big squeeze of lime juice to taste. Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, green beans, and pork between plates. Top pork with pan sauce. Garnish everything with remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
