Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the pork
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork*; season with the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve the string peas crosswise on an angle. Peel and mince the ginger. Juice the lime.
Cook the vegetables
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the ginger, green beans and string peas. Sauté, 4 to 6 min., until beginning to soften. Add 2 tbsp water and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender.
Make the stir-fry
To the pan of vegetables, add the pork, soy sauce and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
