We did the math, and that’s five flavors and textures that are sure make one un-bowl-ievable dinner.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice & Prep
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim green beans if necessary; cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces.

Cook Pork
2

• Tear pork* into small pieces if necessary. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add pork and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until pork is warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in ponzu, vinegar, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4 servings), ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4), and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until saucy, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.

Add Green Beans
3

• While pork cooks, add green beans and a splash of water to a medium microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. Carefully uncover and drain. • Add green beans to pan with pork and stir to combine.

Make Aioli
4

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with Sriracha to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.

Fluff Rice
5

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve
6

• Divide rice between bowls and top with pulled pork and green beans. Garnish with peanuts. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo and serve.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the sweet-soy and ginger flavors; some found it too salty or sweet. Consider adjusting seasoning to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with convenient pre-cooked pork. Some wished for fresher green beans or different veggies.
  • Suggestions: Try sautéing green beans instead of microwaving. Consider adding garlic, cilantro, or other veggies for more dimension.
  • Portions: Several wanted more rice; others felt the pork portion was small or fatty. Adjust quantities as needed.
  • Texture: Some found the pulled pork mushy or fatty. Browning it longer or using ground pork could improve texture.
