Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 1 cup jasmine rice according to package directions; keep warm.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
