Instructions
- To prepare pork: Heat sesame oil to medium-high in a large sautee pan. Add mushrooms and cook until soft.
- Stir in garlic and ginger for 10-15 seconds.
- Add in pork, season lightly with salt and cook until about half cooked (very little pink remains). Stir in coconut aminos and red pepper flakes if using. Cook another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and finish cooking pork. Season to taste.
- To prepare carrots, combine rice vinegar, fish sauce if using, sugar and pinch salt in a small bowl. Toss carrots in mixture and set aside as you finish preparing bowl toppings.
- For sriracha mayo, combine lime juice and garlic clove in a small bowl. If you have the time, let sit for a couple of minutes to allow the acidity to mellow the garlic slightly. Combine with mayonnaise and sriracha. If needed, thin with a small amount of water to drizzle on bowl.
- To assemble bowls, layer rice with ginger pork, pickled carrots and desired toppings (see above for suggestions). Top with sriracha mayo.
