Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Pork
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Paste
  • ¼ cup Green Onion
  • ¼ cup Diced Jalapeño
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 ¼ cup Rice
  • 1 ¼ cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Press your saute button on your Instant Pot. Add your oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork and brown it until it's about 85% done. It should be a little pink.
  • Next, add the green onions, garlic ginger, and jalapeño. 
  • Put your rice in an Instant Pot safe dish with 1 ¼ cup of water. Then, place the trivet in your Instant Pot and put the rice on top of it.
  • Seal the lid on the Instant Pot. Press the manual or pressure cook button and set the time for 8 minutes.
  • When the Instant Pot beeps, do a quick release. Then, add brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to your rice. Stir it and saute it for 3 minutes.
  • Finally, combine your rice and pork together. Stir well.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

  • Marinated Pork: If you are not using pork cuts, not ground meat, then enhance the pork's flavor by marinating it in a mixture of nuoc cham fish sauce (optional), soy sauce, sugar, and garlic for at least an hour before cooking.
  • Ground Meat from Pork Shoulder: For Vietnamese pork dishes, opt for pork shoulder over pork loin; its higher fat content ensures juicier ground meat. Coarsely grind or finely chop for authentic texture and flavor.
  • Soy Sauce: For Vietnamese Pork, use light soy sauce for a subtle flavor, not overpowering like thick soy sauce or dark soy sauce, which is thicker and more intense.
