Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Peel and mince ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Zest and quarter lime.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger and scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in rice and ¾ cup water (1¼ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Toss with lime zest.
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper; rub all over with garlic powder. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, cook in batches if necessary.) • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Return same pan to medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), miso sauce concentrate, honey, and a big squeeze of lime juice. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice if desired. • Return pork to pan and turn to coat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, pork, and carrots between plates. Top pork with any remaining sauce. Sprinkle everything with scallion greens and as many sesame seeds as you like. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Kit came with 4 SMALL carrots, nowhere near the amount pictured. The pork pieces were uneven in size & thickness and impossible to cook evenly at one time. The inconsistency of this kit was a disappointment. I gave 3 stars because food tasted good and very similar to other dishes we've had in the past from Hello Fresh.
These were such an easy pleasant surprise. The Asian spin on a traditional dish was tasty and the sides were fantastic too!
Very similar to the Zingy Mustard Soy Salmon, but the flavor combination is so good it's still four stars, even though the pork suffers in comparison to the salmon, which carries these flavors so well.
This was a win for all. The ginger was a nice touch. I haven't cooked with ginger much so I omitted half and it was perfect for our taste buds.
Portion is good, taste great! My bag was missing the lime but I already had lime juice so it worked out.
Light, filling, & delicious. I even ate the carrots, I don't eat carrots.
We don't cook many pork chops in our house. This was a great addition and surprise on the palate.
Miso is always the best. Sauce didn't thicken up well, but that may have been our fault.
The carrots are particularly special - interesting flavor combo of sweet and sour!
Great flavors between the marinade/sauce and the carrots - add more heat and maybe some soy and it would've been 4/4.
