- 1 cup rice
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 cups broccoli
- 1 whole lime
Instructions

In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Add 1.5 lb pork ribs and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Meanwhile, slice 1 carrot into thin strips and cut 2 cups broccoli into florets. Steam or sauté in a pan with a splash of water until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
