Instructions
- Remove outer layer of lemongrass, then halve lengthwise. Place on a cutting board, cut-side down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice and lemongrass to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Separate bok choy leaves from stems.
- Place in a strainer and rinse under cool water. Pat dry with paper towels, then cut stems into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork. Break up pork into smaller pieces. Add bok choy stems.
- Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains in pork, 4-5 min.**
- Add brown sugar and ginger-garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is fragrant and turns dark-brown, 2-3 min.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
- Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chilies.)
- Stir in vegetarian oyster sauce, bok choy leaves, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) chilies. (NOTE: Reference heat guide). Cook, stirring often, until bok choy leaves wilt.
- Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper.
- Remove and discard lemongrass. Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the green onions and half the crispy shallots.
- Divide rice between bowls.
- Top with caramelized pork and bok choy mixture.
- Sprinkle with remaining green onions and remaining crispy shallots.
- Drizzle with sriracha and sprinkle any remaining chilies over top, if desired.
