with fried egg

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
This meal is inspired by quick and easy Thai street food and got great reviews when we first shared it last year. Thanks to great feedback from our community, this version is even quicker to prepare because the green beans and pork are cooked together. Don't forget to add Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick!
