Step 1
Cut pork into 2-inch chunks. Smash garlic and ginger with the side of a knife.
Step 2
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs mostly clear, 90 seconds.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add pork pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink outside, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Add rice, fish sauce, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice breaks down into a porridge and pork is tender, 20 minutes.
Step 7
Stir the soup. It should look creamy with soft rice and shredded pork throughout.

Taste and adjust salt and fish sauce. Ladle into bowls.
