Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
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.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika, allowing the spices to toast briefly for 30 seconds.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
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.
While the curry simmers, prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions, keeping it warm until serving.
Once the pork is fully cooked, stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the ginger curry pork over a bed of warm jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
