In these times, when you find yourself cooking more than you ever thought you would (or want to), a quick bowl like this one makes cooking another meal not so bad. It’s simple, unfussy and v tasty. Exactly what we all need right now.

I say this throughout the blog for multiple recipes, but this one right here is truly a flavor bomb. The light ginger taste of the pork + flavorful sauce saturating the rice = the perfect bowl of escapism. Topping the bowl off with green onion and sesame oil really brings this dish home. Get to it–it’s too good not to.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or avocado oil
  • ⅓ cup shallots, diced
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 1 pound ground pork (can use ground chicken thigh)
  • 3½ tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce + more to taste
  • ½ pound baby bok choy, lightly chopped

To Serve

  • steamed rice
  • green onion, finely sliced
  • sesame seeds
  • cucumber, sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients. Mince ginger and garlic, and dice onions. Rinse bok choy, disgarding any wilted or discolored leaves. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for 1 mins. Add onion and cook for an additional 2 mins.
  • Add the pork and break up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook for 3 mins or until meat is no longer pink.
  • Add the brown sugar and fish sauce to the skillet and stir. Once ingredients are mixed, leave untouched to allow flavors to infuse and caramelize, 2-3 mins. Add bok choy. Stir mixture and cook until bok choy stems have a slight tenderness. Done!

Prepare Your Bowl

  • Add rice, spoon in pork, top with green onion, seasame seeds, drizzle-drizzle sesame oil, and add cucumber along the side of the bowl–enjoy!
