Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork chops dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a skillet over medium-high until smoking. Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should char deep brown.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer chops to a plate. In the same skillet, crack eggs and fry sunny-side-up until whites set but yolks stay runny, ~4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with a pork chop, fried egg, pickled vegetables, and cucumber slices.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle scallion oil over everything. Serve with a small bowl of fish sauce mixed with a splash of water for dipping.

Tools you’ll need
