Step 1
Boil eggs in a small pot for 6 minutes until soft-boiled, then plunge into cold water and peel.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork chunks and sear 2 minutes per side until browned.
Step 3
Pour soy sauce and mirin over the pork. Add ginger slices and 0.5 cup water. Simmer 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Push pork to the side. Add peppers and mushrooms, stir, and cook 3 minutes until just tender.
Step 5
Add bok choy or spinach, toss until wilted, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Divide pork and vegetables into bowls. Place one soft-boiled egg on top of each. Spoon sauce over everything.
