Cook jasmine rice in coconut milk according to your preferred method, ensuring it’s creamy and fragrant, taking about 15 minutes.
In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over high heat until shimmering.

Introduce the ground pork to the pan and cook until no longer pink, around 3–5 minutes.

Season the pork with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve over coconut rice and garnish as desired.
