Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil eggs in a small pot for 6 minutes until soft-boiled, then plunge into cold water and peel.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork chunks and sear 2 minutes per side until browned.

  3. Step 3

    Pour soy sauce and mirin over the pork. Add ginger slices and 0.5 cup water. Simmer 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Push pork to the side. Add peppers and mushrooms, stir, and cook 3 minutes until just tender.

  5. Step 5

    Add bok choy or spinach, toss until wilted, about 1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Divide pork and vegetables into bowls. Place one soft-boiled egg on top of each. Spoon sauce over everything.
