Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a small pot of water to boil. Gently lower eggs in and cook for 6 minutes for jammy yolks.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork, breaking it apart with a spoon, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin. Stir constantly until the sauce darkens and coats the pork, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Push pork to the side. Add chopped bok choy to the empty space and toss until wilted, ~90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top each with half the pork mixture and greens, then a peeled soft-boiled egg.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter pickled mustard greens over top. Serve immediately.
