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!
