Make
- Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then green beans and carrots with a pinch of salt. Saute until vegetables are bright and starting to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add stock (portion for stir-fry) and cover pan with a lid or foil. Simmer vegetables until nearly tender, ~2 minutes. Remove cover and continue to saute until liquid is cooked off. Season with some salt or add some chili garlic sauce (not in ingredients list for stir-fry) if you’d like it to have a bit of spice.
- Set vegetables aside and return wok to medium-high heat.
- Add second part of cooking oil and then pork. Saute until pork is nearly cooked through and is broken apart, ~3 minutes. Drain.
- Add sauce to pork and reduce heat to medium. Add vegetables back in. Simmer for 5 minutes to finish cooking pork and let flavors develop.
- While pork, vegetables, and sauce simmer, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add third part of oil and then crack eggs into heated oil. Cook eggs on one side for sunny-side up or flip and cook on both sides until cooked to your liking.
- Serve pork and vegetables with eggs on top. Top with cilantro and lime juice. Enjoy!

These came out great and much easier than expected. I found the tutorial video very helpful.
0 Helpfulthis was fun to do! They weren't the pretties but I think with practice it'll come! I am already thinking of ways to customize the filling. Wasn't a huge fan of the dipping sauce.
0 HelpfulThis dish was so good!! This was the first meal we made with CookSmart and it was pretty easy and really tasty! Would love to see a video on cooking and steaming the wontons. Can't wait to make the other meals!!
0 HelpfulSo delicious! I never would have thought I’d be making my own potstickers! I have made them three times and my family loves them. We double the sauce.
0 HelpfulThe flavor of the pork was delicious. Loved the seasoning. Added a little extra Sriracha sauce at the table (not everyone in the family likes super spicy). Really good.
0 HelpfulWe made spring rolls instead of pot stickers since we couldn't find the wonton wrappers, but it was still super delicious!
