Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring 2¾ cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot. Core, seed and remove white ribs from bell peppers; thinly slice crosswise. Peel and thinly slice carrots into rounds. Cut white and light green parts of scallions into 2-inch pieces; set scallion greens aside. Trim snow peas.
- Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.
- Meanwhile, toss carrots, bell peppers, snow peas and scallion pieces with a large drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook until nicely browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet with veggies. Roast until cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
- While pork and veggies roast, stir together soy sauce, honey and Dijon mustard in the pan you cooked the pork in and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Let pork rest 5 minutes after removing from oven. Thinly slice scallion greens.
- Thinly slice pork. Divide rice between plates and top with veggies, pork and glaze. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
Recipe Tips
For best results, let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Feel free to swap basmati rice with jasmine or long-grain rice.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
