Aloha Pork

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
1 cup short-grain white rice
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon RawSpiceBar Hawaiian Blend
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 pound ground pork (you can easily substitute ground chicken)
½ medium pineapple, cut into ¼-inch chunks (save the rind for serving)
2 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- In a medium pot, cook the rice with 1 teaspoon salt according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, Hawaiian Blend, cornstarch, honey, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pork and cook, breaking it up into small crumbles, until browned.
- Add the pineapple and sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce is slightly thickened and the pineapple is heated through, about 3 more minutes.
- Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds and serve with rice in the pineapple boats, if you like.
