Instructions

1. Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces. Trim and halve the green beans, thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, and rinse the jasmine rice until the water is mostly clear.
2. Combine the rice with 1 1/8 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes; remove from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork in one layer and brown it for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
4. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
5. Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, remaining 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook uncovered for 8 minutes.
6. Add the green beans, cover, and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender and the pork reaches at least 145°F. Uncover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more, tossing gently, until the sauce lightly coats the pork and beans.
7. Discard the bay leaf, fluff the rice, and plate it in shallow bowls. Spoon the pork adobo, green beans, onions, and glossy sauce over the rice.
