Cooking Steps
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 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.
Reviews from our home cooks
This is the best recipe among the following I recently ordered; Sweet Chili Pork Bowl and Sweet & Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry. Not only the taste, the portion was somewhat better than other two. Probably it was due to peanuts (more chewing needed contributing to fill my stomach) and butter being added to the sauce at the end. I liked the idea of using fully cooked pulled pork. I do like the "bowl" type of recipe that requires only 20 min. Love to try all of them, although some are better than others (like I mentioned above). Will request again. Very successful recipe considering the main ingredients were only 2; pork and green beans.
I have never eaten Jasmine rice but it cooked up so nice and fluffy then add the pork and GREEN BEANS! It was so good! I actually think if I ever go back to eating my own cooking, I will have to try mimic this dish. I haven't eaten green beans in forever. Maybe since I served them out of a can to my young family 40 years ago. Fresh green beans are great. No longer will I ignore them after Hello Fresh showed me what I was missing!
I love trying new dishes and Hello Fresh has made it simple and easy. This was another quick and delicious dish. I loved the tangy-ness of the pork and the jasmine rice was perfect with it. The green beans added a touch of texture to the dish.
Great sweet soy flavors; love the green beans even if they take longer to prep. I tend to add a water & corn/potato starch slurry to quickly bring the sauce together on most of these types of dishes.
Absolutely loved this. Sriracha Aioli sure is easy and makes the dish! Loved the fresh green beans too.
The best thing in the box and, this week, that's saying something! I've had this recipe before with ground pork and ground turkey but, the texture and a little fattiness from the pulled pork made this the best.
Easy prep. We loved the flavors. I've been off eating pork for some time because the flavor didn't agree with me. These recipes have brought me back to pork. Loved the peanuts on top.
Easy to make and great for work lunches. I did not microwave the green beans but did add them to the final cooking time so they would stay crisp and fresh tasting when I did reheat it.
Pulled pork was extremely fatty. Did not need to use oil or butter. Saturated in fat. Sweet soy glaze was already sweet enough. No need for additional sugar. Otherwise, I roasted the green beans omitted the oil and butter and this recipe wasn't too bad. I also toasted the peanuts.
The Sweet Soy Glaze was too much, could have used 4 tbls (for 4 servings) instead of the 5 stated. Then I didn't like how I had to microwave the string beans in the microwave, it definitely didn't cook enough so I kept it cooking with the pulled pork for 10 minutes to cook at the texture I like. Also, why did I only get a total of 1 cup of rice for 4 servings?! That was WAY too little for 4 people. I added another cup of dry rice to add to the other 2 servings. Weird portion size...
