Thai One Pot

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 green bell pepper, cut in 1/4 inch strips
• 1 red bell pepper, cut in 1/4 inch strips
• 1/4 lb shiitake mushroom, stems removed and caps cut in 1/4 inch strips
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 lbs ground pork
• 3/4 cup short-grain rice
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 10 radishes, sliced thinly
• 5 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

1. 1

   In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the bell peppers, shiitakes, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove.

2. 2

   Add the pork to the pan and cook, stirring, until it is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Spoon off the fat from the pan. Stir in the bell peppers and shiitakes, the rice, broth, soy sauce, the remaining salt, and the cayenne.

4. 4

   Bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer, without removing the lid, until the rice is just done, about 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the pot from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the scallions, radishes, cilantro and lime juice.
