High Protein

A 520-calorie Lunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 200g lean ground pork
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup cooked short-grain brown rice
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1/4 tsp minced garlic
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Prep: Prepare all ingredients. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, and black pepper for the sauce. Set aside.
2. Cook Pork: Heat vegetable oil in a pan on the hob over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
3. Season Pork: Add half of the prepared sauce to the cooked pork and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
4. Cook Spinach: While the pork is cooking, wilt the spinach in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.
5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice between two microwave-safe bowls. Top each with seasoned ground pork and wilted spinach.
6. Cook Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into a small, microwave-safe ramekin or bowl. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Repeat for the second egg.
7. Finish & Serve: Gently place a runny egg on top of each bowl. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the bowls. Serve immediately.
8. Top tip: For an extra kick, sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
