Step 1
Start rice in a separate pot with 2 cups water; bring to boil, then reduce to low and cover for 15 minutes.
Step 2
While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Add pork in a single layer. Let sit 2 minutes without stirring until edges brown, then stir and cook 5 more minutes.
Step 4
Add garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and 0.5 cup water. Stir, then simmer uncovered 6–8 minutes until pork is tender and sauce glazes the meat.
Step 5
Divide rice into bowls. Top with glazed pork and serve with pickled greens, shredded carrots, steamed greens, and bamboo shoots on the side.
