Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate half the ginger (grate all for 4 ppl). Roughly chop cilantro. Cut lime into wedges.
Add 1/8 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and 2/3 cup water (1 cup for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in coconut milk and rice, then bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Remove pan from heat and transfer pork to a plate. Carefully wipe pan clean.
Return pan to heat. Add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic puree, ginger, onions and peppers. Season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften, 2-3 min.
While veggies cook, combine peanut butter and soy sauce mirin blend in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave in 15 sec intervals, stirring until sauce is smooth. Add carrots, pork and peanut sauce to the pan with the veggies. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens and carrots are tender, 2-3 min.
Divide coconut rice between plates. Spoon pork and veggies over top. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve lime wedges alongside.
