Step 1

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the hot honey: Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the snap peas. Pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each pea pod. In a bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), vinegar, 1 tablespoon of warm water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

Step 2

2 Cook the rice & peas: Add the rice to the pot of boiling water and cook, uncovered, 28 minutes. Add the prepared peas and continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

Step 3

3 Cook the pork: Once the rice has cooked about 10 minutes, pat the pork dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork and cook 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

Step 4

4 Make the chipotle mayo: While the pork rests, in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of water, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

Step 5

5 Finish the rice & serve your dish: Add the hot honey to the pot of cooked rice and peas; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Slice the rested pork crosswise. Serve the sliced pork over the finished rice. Top the pork with the chipotle mayo. Garnish with the cheese. Enjoy!
