These Five-Spice Pork and Brussels Bowls are the best low carb, high protein meal prep option when you want to switch things up! Made with lean ground pork, crispy brussels sprouts runny egg and aromatic Chinese five-spice, these bowls are a unique flavor combination that will leave you craving more!
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set to medium-high heat. Add the pork and season with 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, breaking into small pieces, as you go.
Add the garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup and five-spice powder. Continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink (about 8 minutes).
Meanwhile, add the brussels and onions to another skillet (spray with cooking spray first) and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the brussels become tender (but still crisp).
Once the brussels are done, transfer to the skillet with the meat and stir everything to combine.
Now grease the skillet and set to medium heat. Once hot, add the eggs and cover with a lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg whites have cooked the yolk is still runny (or to preference).
Makes four bowls. Can serve with rice or cauliflower rice if desired. Top each bowl with an egg and enjoy!
Notes
Can't find five-spice at the grocery store? Make your own spice seasoning with a mix of garam masala and star anise.Meal Prep Tip: If making these spicy pork brussels bowls for meal prep, I will sometimes leave the egg off when prepping and cook fresh right before eating. If you have a couple of minutes, I highly recommend frying the egg right before serving. However, you can add the egg before refrigerating to save time. If you are freezing this meal, leave the egg off and add once meal is thawed and reheated.
