Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook broken rice according to package directions until fluffy, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix ground pork with 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let marinate 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add pork and cook, breaking up, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add remaining oil and fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are set and edges crispy, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Make dressing: combine remaining fish sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between plates. Top with pork, fried egg, basil leaves, and sliced chilies. Drizzle with dressing.
