Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the yu choy stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems. Juice the lime.
Start the pork
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the ginger (start with ½) and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the pork; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
Cook the vegetables & finish the pork
To the pan of pork, add the yu choy, kimchi, edamame and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften and the pork* is cooked through. Add the soy sauce and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the vegetables and pork. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
