Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 lb pork mince
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Cook the 1 cup jasmine rice according to package directions; keep warm.
- 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
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
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.

Pour the sauce over the pork and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is absorbed and the pork is glossy.

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.
