Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce.

    Zest and quarter lime. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Finely chop cilantro.

    In a small bowl, combine chili sauce, sweet soy glaze, ¼ cup water, 1 tsp cornstarch (we sent more), ½ tsp sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water, 2 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sugar.)

  2. 2

    Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Add pork* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Stir in sweet chili glaze; cook, stirring, until pork is coated, 30-60 seconds more.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, gently massage rice in package to break up grains. Partially open package; place 1 TBSP butter inside. (For 4 servings, use 1 TBSP butter per package.) Microwave according to package instructions, 90 seconds.

    Carefully open package fully; season rice with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and add half the cilantro and lime zest to taste. Fluff with a fork.

  4. 4

    Divide rice between bowls and top with pork and pepper mixture and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
