Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and slice carrots into ½-inch thick rounds. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup water and jasmine rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
3. While rice cooks, prepare the miso lime sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together miso sauce concentrate, honey and the juice of half the lime. Set aside.
4. Thinly slice scallions, separating white and green parts. Peel and grate ginger. Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in grated ginger and sliced scallion whites. Cover to keep warm.
5. Season pork cutlets on both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook pork cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
6. Pour the miso lime sauce over the cooked pork cutlets in the skillet. Let simmer for 1 minute, turning to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the pork.
7. Slice remaining lime into wedges. Serve pork cutlets with roasted carrots and ginger scallion rice. Garnish with scallion greens and a squeeze of lime.
