Coconut Braised Pork

Nathan concocted this pork recipe specifically to complement our spring rolls and rice bowl from Rolls Rice. It was delicious! 

Ingredients
2 pounds pork (roast, steaks, or thick chops.. We used pork steaks)
1 15 oz can coconut milk
5 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp hot sauce (sriracha or similar)
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger
1 Tbsp brown sugar
zest and juice of 2 large limes

Instructions
- Cut pork into 1" cubes, and season with a sprinkle of salt. 

-Brown cubed meat in small amount of lard or other high fat cooking oil, in a cast iron skillet over high heat

-Make seasoning paste with ginger, garlic, soy and hot sauce, sugar, lime zest, and the juice of ONE lime in a food processor. 

- Turn heat down to medium, add seasoning paste, toss to coat the pork, stir fry for 2 minutes until garlic is beginning to toast but not burn. 

- Add coconut milk, additional lime juice, and 1 cup water. Stir and bring to a simmer. 

- Transfer to an instant pot and pressure cook on high for 15 minutes. Alternately, cover the pan and braise in the oven at 250 for 20-30 minutes, or until pork is tender. This might take longer depending on your cut of pork.
