Instructions

1. Rinse the rice, then combine it in a small saucepan with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low, and cook for 15 minutes, then let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing.
2. While the rice cooks, slice the cucumbers, halve the tomatoes, chop the cilantro, separate the green onion whites from greens, and mince the garlic and ginger.
3. Make the cucumber salad by tossing cucumbers, tomatoes, half the cilantro, green onion greens, lime juice, sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon oil; let it sit while you stir-fry so the flavors lightly pickle.
4. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add the green onion whites, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the ground pork, turmeric, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt; cook 5–7 minutes, breaking the pork into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through to 160°F.
6. Stir in the soy sauce or fish sauce, lime zest, and 2 tablespoons water, scraping up browned bits; cook 1–2 minutes until glossy, then fold in the remaining cilantro.
7. Taste and adjust with more lime juice from the salad bowl, salt, or chile if needed, then spoon rice into two bowls, top with the pork stir-fry, add the cucumber-tomato salad alongside, and finish with peanuts or sesame seeds if using.
