Step 1
In a pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups cooked rice and 0.5 pound sliced pork; reduce heat to medium and simmer until pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While soup simmers, heat a small skillet over medium heat and fry 2 eggs until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with a fried egg, 0.25 cup fried shallots, and 0.25 cup chopped cilantro. Serve hot with cucumber slices and extra herbs if desired.
Step 4
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, add a splash of fish sauce or a squeeze of lime if you have them.
