Step 1
Pat pork chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving until edges turn golden. Set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Add rice to the same skillet, breaking up clumps with the spatula. Stir for 2 minutes until rice looks dry and toasted.
Step 5
Push rice to the sides. Crack eggs into the center and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Divide rice and eggs between bowls. Top with pork chops, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and scallion. Drizzle with fish sauce and lime juice.
