Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Bring 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a boil in a covered medium pot. Add rice to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While the rice cooks, cut the pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate the ginger. Combine the pork and half the ginger in a medium bowl. Season with pepper and 1/2 tsp salt. Roll mixture into 8 equal meatballs, you should have 16 for 4 ppl.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the meatballs. Cook, until golden-brown all over, 3-4 min. (TIP: Don't over crowd the pan! Cook in batches for 4 ppl!) Transfer meatballs to a plate. (NOTE: It's ok if the meatballs are not cooked though yet. We will finish cooking them in Step 4!)
Add the onions and peppers to the same pot. Cook, until veggies begin to soften, 1-2 min. Add the Indian spice, ginger and tomato sauce. Cook until fragrant, 30 sec. Add the coconut milk, meatballs along with any liquid from the plate and 1/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, until sauce is slightly thickened and meatballs are cooked through, 6-7 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
While the meatballs simmer, roughly chop the cilantro. Fluff the rice with a fork. Season with salt and stir in half the cilantro. Divide rice between bowls. Top with the pork meatball and coconut curry. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top.
