Nurodymai

Cook the rice.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Braise the pork at medium-high heat, turning to brown all sides. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork and place into a large saucepan, leaving the oil in the frying pan.

Shake the can of coconut milk before opening. Add to the pork and place the saucepan on medium heat.

Add the vegetables and all spices to the frying pan. Stir well. Sauté until the vegetables start to brown. Transfer the vegetable mixture into the sauce pan, cover, and simmer about 5 minutes.

Serve over fluffy white rice.

Serves 6-8. A rich and satisfying main dish; not too spicy.
