Start by marinating the pork. In a bowl, combine the sliced pork with teriyaki sauce. Make sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit for at least 20 minutes. This allows the flavor to seep in nicely.

While your pork is marinating, let’s focus on the rice. In a pot, combine the coconut milk, water, rice, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and fluffy.

After the rice is cooking, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's cooked through and caramelized. The aroma will fill your kitchen—just wait!

Once the pork is browned, throw in the fresh pineapple chunks. Stir for an additional 2-3 minutes. You want the pineapple to warm up and throw off some juice, mingling with the sauce.

Check your rice. Once it’s cooked, fluff it gently with a fork. This will keep it airy and prevent it from becoming gummy.

Now it’s time to assemble! Serve a generous scoop of coconut rice on a plate, top with the sautéed pineapple pork, and don’t forget the finishing touches. Sprinkle lime zest, fresh cilantro, jalapeños, crispy onions, and sesame seeds right over the top.
