Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a 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.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much Sriracha as you like; add water ½ tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork*, scallion whites, and a pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in cabbage and carrot mix, lemongrass marinade, 1/3 cup water, and ½ tsp sugar (2/3 cup water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened and pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice between bowls and top with lemongrass pork. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo and sprinkle with crispy fried onions and scallion greens. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Thumbs up on the portion size, but the meat was flavorless even with the lemongrass marinade which I couldn't even taste. The only thing that saved the recipe, flavor-wise, was the crispy onions and sriracha mayo. The portion of sriracha mayo was too little. I had to make extra from the mayo and sriracha in my fridge. Also, 1/3 cup of water is too much. The "sauce" for the meat was still very watery after it got done cooking.
This is a very interesting recipe. I liked it a lot. The only thing I did differently was add the scallion greens to the rice instead of adding them on top. Same flavors, just in a different way.
Lemongrass tastes so springy. This dish was also very easy to make!
Easy, fast to cook and the lemongrass flavor was more savory, which I enjoyed
The lemongrass is very strong smelling and the tip to add in a little at a time was an amazing help! It was really good!
I liked it, but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. I thought it would have a lot more lemongrass flavor, but instead the sauce was VERY sesame oil tasting. I still liked it, but I wish it would have had more sweetness and brightness. The lime helped with the brightness, but overall could have been a little better.
I liked this way more than I thought I would while cooking. The lemongrass sauce kind of stinks, quite frankly, so I'm glad that dissipated and was mostly gone in the finished meal.
I loved this one! Such a good flavor, even good without the rice for a low carb option. Large servings which was awesome
Was so easy to cook and the flavor was delicious, I would order it again.
Flavor is outstanding! The fried onions really jazzed this dish up. I hope this recipe keeps coming back! Absolutely delicious!!!
