Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

  5. 5

    Stir in the red curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to coat the pork and vegetables in the seasonings.

  6. 6

    Add the uncooked jasmine rice and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir and bring the mixture just to a simmer.

  8. 8

    Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

  9. 9

    Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  10. 10

    Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with cilantro and green onions, and serve with lime wedges.
