In this Asian-style bowl, ground pork and green beans are stir-fried and coated in a tangy ginger-ponzu-chili sauce. Everything comes together over a bed of fluffy rice with a shower of crunchy wonton strips and a creamy drizzle of spicy mayo.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • 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.

Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Trim green beans if necessary; halve crosswise.

Mix Sauce
3
  • In a small bowl, combine ponzu, umami ginger sauce, half the vinegar, 2 TBSP water, and ¼ tsp sugar (all the vinegar, 4 TBSP water, and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings).

  • Stir in Sriracha to taste.

Start Stir-Fry
4
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes. 

  • Break up meat into pieces, then stir in green beans. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 3-5 minutes. 

Finish Stir-Fry
5
  • Stir ponzu mixture into pan with pork and green beans. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 1 minute more.

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. 

Finish & Serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings).

  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with pork and green bean stir-fry; garnish with wonton strips. Drizzle with spicy mayo and any remaining Sriracha to taste. Serve.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The tangy ginger-ponzu sauce and spicy mayo deliver bold, satisfying flavor that most reviewers enjoyed 🍲. A few found it slightly bland once mixed with rice; adding a splash of soy sauce helped round it out.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, making it a great choice for a fast weeknight dinner.
  • Suggestions: Cook the green beans separately before adding the pork, as several reviewers found they needed significantly more time to soften than the recipe suggests. Add onion or scallions for extra depth, and use more spicy mayo if you like a creamier finish.
  • Leftovers: This dish was best enjoyed freshly cooked; one reviewer noted it didn't hold up as well the next day.
  • Sauce: Several reviewers wished for more sauce overall — consider doubling the ponzu mixture or keeping extra spicy mayo on the side.

We really enjoyed this. My only suggestion would be to add onion or scallions and to tell people to cook the raw green beans first. It took 50 mins to get them soft enough to eat. I had to keep adding water to the pan and putting a lid on to get them tender enough to eat. With that said, this was delicious!

This recipe was quick and tasted wonderful. The texture of the green beans done this way was very good.

Delicious, but somewhat oily. Use a nonstick pan and reduce the oil, no butter needed on rice. Would be good with quinoa instead of rice for better overall macros.

Loved how quick and simple the recipe was. The amount of vinegar made it a little too "tangy" for me.

Felt it needed a little more veg, added 1/2 onion & 2 mini sweet peppers. Perfection!

Good, easy and the crunchy croutons give it that extra touch

Flavor was good, recipe was quick and easy. However, for 4 servings, the pan was too crowded and the green beans could not get thoroughly cooked let alone browned because they never consistently touched the pan as the meat was taking up all of the surface area. So they ended up being undercooked. Many of the recipes need to take pan size into consideration for four portions.
