Ingredients

• 2 pound ground pork (lean)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (medium, finely diced)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled, diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 1 package frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 1.5 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
• 3 cup water

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and keep covered.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion and garlic, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3. Add the ground pork and ground black pepper to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until thoroughly browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. Stir in the diced Yukon Gold potatoes, tomato sauce, reduced-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, and low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes are just fork-tender.
5. Add the frozen mixed vegetables into the skillet. Simmer uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced and the vegetables are heated through.
6. Fluff the warm jasmine rice with a fork and portion evenly among bowls, topping generously with the savory pork and vegetable mixture.

Notes

Reheats cleanly in the microwave with a splash of water over the rice to restore moisture.
