Units
Scale
- 1 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp lemongrass paste
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 lbs (454 g) Farm Promise ground pork
- 3 tbsp (44 ml) lime juice
- 3 leaves basil
- 1 1/2 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp Thai chili paste
- 4 cups (946 ml) basmati or white long grain rice
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and lemongrass paste and stir until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until melted, then add the pork. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and no pink remains.
- Combine the lime juice, basil, fish sauce, and (optional) Thai chili paste in a small bowl.
- After the pork is cooked, remove the pan from heat and stir in the lime juice mixture.
- Divide the rice into four meal prep containers. Top each with an even amount of pork mixture.
- Cool to room temperature, then store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- For a spicier larb, add 1-2 teaspoons more of Thai chili paste, or a few slices of fresh Thai chili.
- Leftover cooked rice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and used to quickly assemble these bowls throughout the week.
- If lemongrass paste isn’t available, finely grate 1-inch piece of fresh lemongrass and use in place of the paste.
