Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tbsp Ginger (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 1 tbsp Curry powder
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk (unsweetened)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 whole Lime (juiced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (for garnish, chopped)
• 1 tsp (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 tsp (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika, allowing the spices to toast briefly for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Return the browned pork cubes to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 8

While the curry simmers, prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions, keeping it warm until serving.

Step 9

Once the pork is fully cooked, stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve the ginger curry pork over a bed of warm jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
