Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork belly, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin (or honey)
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 cups mixed green vegetables (bok choy, broccoli, or spinach), roughly chopped
  • 1.5 cups bell peppers and mushrooms (shiitake or cremini), sliced

Instructions

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