A truly savory and spicy dish, these Spicy Curried Pork and Rice Bowls just might become a regular meal around your house. They are packed with flavor and there are many options on how to flavor your finished dish with fresh herbs.
Spicy Curried Pork and Rice Bowls
I love this type of dinner – quick, easy and tasty combos you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. Not to mention this dish makes great leftovers. There is something about these “bowl meals” that seem to make mealtime more interesting.
I started with a base of my favorite rice and put together a ground pork mixture spice lovers are going to applaud. If you’re not a fan of too much heat you can always back off the cayenne in the beginning and add it in increments to a level you are comfortable with. Your choice.
I chopped my onions, jalapenos and ginger in my food processor. This fine chop makes the dish more seamless in texture and consistency. You could chop them really finely yourself, it will just be more time consuming.
I chose to garnish the finished dish with fresh green onion, mint and basil. Cilantro also works well if you like it. I also serve each bowl with a half of a lime, which infuses a nice, bright flavor.
Since the dish is very savory I highly recommend adding a drizzle of Sweet Red Chili Sauce to the finished bowl. It adds the perfect balance of savory-sweet to every bite.

I really liked this and think I will love with a few adjustments. I will reduce the amount of jalapeño (slightly) , use 1 teaspoon of cayenne (instead of two teaspoons) , and use 4 cups of broth instead of 6 cups ( too much liquid with 6 cups). I would also consider having a butcher do a course grind on the pork, otherwise the regular grind in the supermarket works just fine. This goes in the “make again” category!

We loved it. I used ground turkey instead of ground pork because they didn’t have it at the store and I was in a hurry. I used two jalapenos but no cayenne pepper. I agree that 6 cups of broth was too much, and I personally wish I’d added more lemon/lime juice/zest.
I plumb forgot to add the sweet chili sauce, but because the onions cooked in the turkey liquid and not pork grease, they caramelized instead of frying. It probably sweetened the sauce enough that we didn’t miss the chili sauce. The fresh garnishes on top are a must, I think.
Definitely make again.

Glad you loved it.
