Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by slicing the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together freshly minced ginger, lime juice, soy sauce (or tamari), brown sugar, minced garlic, and sriracha.
- Add the sliced or ground pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes.
- Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with coconut milk, a cup of water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.
- Bring the coconut rice mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the marinated pork with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Deglaze the skillet with reserved marinade and simmer until thickened.
- Once the coconut rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork. Stir in a tablespoon of butter and sprinkle on toasted coconut flakes.
- To serve, spoon coconut rice onto each plate, slice the rested pork, and drizzle with pan sauce.
- Top with chopped scallions, peanuts, and fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Notes
Allow the pork to marinate for at least 5 minutes, but 15 minutes will enhance flavors. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F. Avoid lifting the lid while cooking the rice to ensure a creamy texture.
