Instructions

1. Cook the microwavable rice according to package directions. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha and the juice of half the lime. Set aside.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
5. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
7. Pour the hoisin mixture over the pork and beans. Stir to coat evenly. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
8. Squeeze the remaining lime half over the stir-fry. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper or sriracha if desired.
9. Serve the stir-fry over the warm rice. Roughly chop the peanuts and sprinkle on top. Enjoy immediately.
