Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add rice, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, remove outer layer of lemongrass. Using a rolling pin or heavy pot, carefully smash lemongrass to bruise, then halve crosswise.
When the pan is hot, add pork, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then lemongrass and ginger-garlic puree.Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard any excess fat. Sprinkle Indian Spice Mix over pork, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
Add vegetable mix, coconut milk, 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water and onion to the pan with pork. Bring to a simmer over high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 6-8 min. Carefully remove and discard lemongrass. Add fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Roughly chop cilantro.Add half the cilantro to rice, then fluff with a fork.Divide rice between bowls. Spoon curry over rice.Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
