Step 1
Cook the 1 cup jasmine rice according to package directions; keep warm.
Step 2
Mince the 6 garlic cloves and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp sugar.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant and lightly golden, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the 1 lb pork mince and break it up with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy at the edges, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the sauce over the pork and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is absorbed and the pork is glossy.
Step 6
In a separate nonstick pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil over medium-high. Fry the 2 eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set and the edges are crispy, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Divide the rice between two plates, top with the garlic pork and a fried egg. Garnish with sliced red chili and fresh cilantro if desired.
