How to Make Thai Style Papaya Pork

  4. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 pound pork strips to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded green papaya and toss to combine.
  7. Serve the Thai Style Papaya Pork over the cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
