It’s no secret that I’m keeping things simple lately. As I’ve pointed out a few times over the past week or two. And let me just say, there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe I’m getting ready for the long lazy days of summer. Maybe I’m just at the end of the school year with my kiddo and am on shut down mode. Who’s to say? It’s also no secret that I LOVE Smithfield® marinated fresh pork.
Put the two together and you get this awesome Banh Mi Bowl! With less than 10 ingredients and well under 30 minutes of time, you can have this delicious and refreshing meal in a bowl ready to go. Bowls like this one are going to be my summer staple. Grilling outside keeps the heat out of my house and the rest of it is cool, crisp, and perfect for the hot days heading my way here in Texas.
Smithfield® fresh marinated pork is a staple in my house because of this very reason, it’s so versatile! Plus, it’s already marinated and full of flavor, so I don’t have to deal with a whole lot of hands on time or even that many ingredients. You also don’t have to cook it whole. It’s perfect for slicing and dicing for a quicker cook time - almost always 30 minutes or less. Even better, it’s made with real, all natural ingredients.
This dish is a spicy and flavorful little number and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Between the Smithfield Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper pork, jalapeños, and the skinny sriracha aioli dressing, this is one big punch of spice, which is why its all paired with so many other cool veggies.
