Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Pour soy sauce, mirin, and 1/4 cup water into the pan. Stir in grated ginger and bring to a simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Crack eggs directly into the pan around the pork. Cover and cook 5 minutes until whites set but yolks jiggle.

  4. Step 4

    Push pork and eggs to the side. Add peppers and mushrooms to the empty space, stir-fry 2 minutes until tender.

  5. Step 5

    Add chopped greens, toss everything together, and cook 1 minute until greens wilt slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between bowls. Top with pork, egg, vegetables, and sauce. Serve immediately.
