Scale
- 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 pound Farm Promise ground pork
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 leaves basil roughly chopped

Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and lemongrass paste and stir, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until melted, then immediately add the pork to the pan. Cook, breaking the pork up with a wooden spoon as it browns until the pork is cooked through completely and no pink parts remain.
- While the pork is cooking, combine the lime juice, basil, fish sauce and (optional) Thai chili paste in a small bowl, stirring to mix.
- After the pork is cooked through, remove the pan from heat and stir in the lime juice mixture.
- Divide the rice into four meal prep containers (or bowls, if serving immediately). Top each container with an even amount of the pork mixture.
- Cool to room temperature, then store, tightly covered and in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.
