This was really tasty and super fast and simple. More salt/ soy sauce and more sriracha were needed in my opinion. Loved the egg and the sriracha Mayo. Subbed turkey to cut some of the fat.
0 HelpfulI thought this was pretty good - the pork needed a little extra seasoning, I think - maybe more soy sauce and spice. I used broccoli instead of green beans, so I ended up cooking it first then the pork since there wasn't space in the pan. The egg & sriracha mayo were good - definitely gave it that extra oomph.
0 HelpfulMy Vegetarian wife loved it, my carnivore daughter even liked it. Definitely will have this again... OFTEN!
0 HelpfulPretty easy to make, especially as I already had leftover rice. I forgot lemongrass, but it still tasted good without.
0 HelpfulI said 4; hubby said 3. Scrambled the eggs in the pork and it made a really great sauce for the rice.
