Honey Garlic Pork Rice Bowl is a super easy pork recipe cooked in less than 25 minutes with no marinating!
Ingredients you need for the Honey Garlic Pork Rice Bowl
1lb (450g) pork ribs (country style, deboned) or shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons cornstarch, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken or beef stock
1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce (we used Sriracha), optional
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and scallion, for garnish
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup steamed broccoli florets
Directions
1. To make the honey garlic pork bites: Add the diced pork to a large salad bowl with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix to evenly coat all the pork pieces.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter into the oil and add the seasoned pork cubes and cook on all sides until golden brown, for about 6-8 minutes. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the pork bites instead of browning them.
3. Once the pork is done cooking, pour over the garlic, honey, chicken stock (or beef stock), lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using) and stir to completely coat; allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld all the flavors and reduce a little until it sticks to the pork bites.
4. Garnish the honey garlic pork bites with fresh chopped parsley and red chili pepper flakes, then serve over rice and steamed broccoli. Enjoy! ❤️
