Ingredients

4 servings

For the rice

1 ½ cups jasmine rice
2 ¼ cups water
½ tsp salt

For the sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch

For the pork

1 ½ lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into ½-inch medallions
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)

For serving

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, shredded
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
