1 cup jasmine rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups coarsely chopped watercress, plus sprigs for serving

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce never thickened and the pork was tough. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth it. The pork was fall-apart tender and the sauce was incredible.

I had some trouble finding watercress, so I used baby spinach instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
