Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to 400°F. In a bowl, combine 1 lb pork tenderloin, 1 cup chopped pineapple, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Thread pork and pineapple onto skewers. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork is cooked through and pineapple caramelizes.
Step 3: In a pot, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add 1 cup jasmine rice, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 15 minutes, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
