Directions
- In wide, shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, chile, and brown sugar. Add pork chops and turn to coat. Set aside.
- To medium pot, add 2 teaspoons oil and white parts of scallions and cook on medium until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium-high. Add pork chops, reserving marinade, and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side; transfer to plates.
- Halve bok choy lengthwise. Add remaining tsp oil to the skillet; add bok choy, cut sides down, and place a heavy pan on top. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove pan, flip bok choy, and add reserved marinade and 1/4 cup water to pan. Cook, covered, until stems are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Fluff rice with a fork and stir in green parts of scallions. Serve with pork chops and bok choy.
