Ingredients

  • ¾ lb ground pork
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 tbsp scallions, sliced
  • ½ tsp chili oil or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar to the pork. Stir until the liquid reduces and coats the meat in a glossy glaze, ~3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Push the pork to the side of the skillet. Add 1 tbsp fresh oil to the empty side and crack both eggs into it.

  4. 4

    Fry the eggs until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with glazed pork, a fried egg, scallions, and a pinch of chili oil.

Tools you’ll need
