Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 large, thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 1 large, thinly sliced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, thinly sliced yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 stalks, sliced for garnish green onions
• 1 tsp, toasted (optional) sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water with 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
2. Step 2: While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 1 lb ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
4. Step 4: Add 1 large thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1 large thinly sliced green bell pepper, and 1 medium thinly sliced yellow onion to the pork. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Step 5: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, and 1 tbsp sriracha. Cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork and vegetables.
6. Step 6: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork. Serve the spicy pork stir-fry over rice, garnished with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds if using.
