Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Halve, core, and dice bell pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Peel orange and separate into segments; cut each into small pieces (peel away any excess pith from the flesh).
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine Szechuan paste, hoisin, sesame oil, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4).
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press pork into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium; break up meat into pieces. Add bell pepper, scallion whites, ginger, and garlic; cook until pork is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.
Stir in sauce; cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 30-60 seconds more.
Remove from heat. Stir edamame and orange into pan. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the vinegar and 1 TBSP butter (all the vinegar and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings).
Divide rice between bowls and top with Szechuan-hoisin pork. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.

- Ease of prep: Simple and unique to prepare, with protein substitutions available for added flexibility.
- Suggestions: Consider doubling the ginger for more zing. Adding extra greens like spinach or bok choy could boost nutrition and flavor 🍲.

Reviews from our home cooks
Substituted ground turkey to increase protein and reduce fat. Felt better than beef! Alex: loved the orange ingredient, I liked the edamame, ground turkey was a good choice for mod, liked the flavor and was easy to make
Delicious, but sauce is too sweet / has too much sugar, and could use a little extra green like some spinach, cabbage, or bok choy (even kimchi!)
Really tasty and love the burst of freshness from the Mandarin orange
This was very good and the orange gave it a nice fresh taste.
Wished it had sweet soy glaze in the sauce 😋 still delicious
Nice kick to it and it's great having protein substitutions available
Need a little more sauce. And didn't care much for the vinegar.
Thank goodness I used less spice, would have been too hot for us
It was good, could have used more than just ground meat
I skipped the red pepper. It was simple and unique.
