Step 1
If using uncooked rice, boil in salted water until tender, ~15 min, then drain. If precooked, warm it gently.
Step 2
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds. Sear pork 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4
Transfer pork to a cutting board. Stir the shallot into the hot skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Whisk fish sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl. Spread rice on a plate, top with pork, and drizzle with fish sauce mixture.
Step 6
Scatter shallots, pâté (if using), and fresh herbs over the top. Serve immediately.
