Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Mince the garlic. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ⅓ of the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the rice, 2 ½ cups water, ⅓ of the spices and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Remove the stem ends of the string peas.
Roast the vegetables
On a lined sheet pan (use 2 sheet pans if necessary), toss the bok choy and string peas with ½ the remaining garlic, a drizzle of oil, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 7 to 9 min., until tender.
Cook & glaze the pork
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through. Add the mango chutney, remaining garlic, 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp water. Cook, spooning the sauce over the pork, 2 to 3 min., until glazed.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice, vegetables and pork (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over the pork. Bon appétit!
