Step 1
Cook broken rice according to package directions until fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix ground pork with 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let marinate 5 minutes.
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.
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.
Step 5
Make dressing: combine remaining fish sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Step 6
Divide rice between plates. Top with pork, fried egg, basil leaves, and sliced chilies. Drizzle with dressing.
