Ingredients

Pork

1 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon garlic paste
2 teaspoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon soy sauce

Carrots

3 carrots peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon each salt and pepper more or less to taste
2 tablespoon sesame oil

Lime Rice

2 limes 1 zested and juiced, 1 wedged
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Sriracha Mayo

½ cup mayo
3 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoon soy sauce

Toppings

2 tablespoon cilantro chopped (optional)
¼ cup fried onions

Instructions

Make sriracha mayo. In a bowl or jar combine all sauce ingredients. Place in the fridge for later.
Prepare rice. Cook rice according to package. Fluff then add lime juice, zest, and salt. (Reserve second lime to cut into wedges and use as garnish.)
Cook pork. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add pork. Cook for 5 minutes.
Season pork. Once pork is nearly cooked, add garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes allowing the flavors to come together. Remove pork and set aside.
Cook carrots and warm pork. In the hot skillet, add sesame oil, carrots, salt, and pepper. Saute for 6-7 minutes or until softened to your liking.
Add pork to carrots and stir to reheat for 1-2 minutes as needed.
Add toppings and serve. In serving bowls, layer rice with pork then vegetables. Top with cilantro and fried onions. Add lime wedges to each bowl.

Notes

If you have a large enough skillet, you can cook pork and veggies at the same time.
Try this recipe on a flattop grill instead of a skillet.
