Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Peel and mince ginger. Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter lime.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice, ¾ cup water and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
4. While pork cooks, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 10-12 minutes.
5. Return pan used for pork to medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, garlic and remaining ginger. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ¼ cup water, jam and miso sauce concentrate. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Stir in a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
6. Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and a pinch of salt if needed. Divide rice, pork and green beans between plates. Drizzle pork with sauce and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
