Method

  1. 1 Rinse the broken rice gently and cook it with slightly less water than you would regular rice.
  2. 2 Broken rice grains absorb water quickly; adding water like regular rice will result in mushy cooked rice.
  3. 3 Thinly slice the pork chops and marinate them with lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar for 4 hours.
  4. 4 Grill the ribs at 230 degrees for 16 minutes, brushing with marinade once and flipping once.
  5. 5 Fry the sunny-side-up eggs in hot oil for 2 minutes until the white edges are crispy and the yolks are still runny.
  6. 6 Prepare a sweet and sour fish sauce dressing and serve it with rice, ribs, eggs, cucumber, and fried shallots.

With an appliance

  • Charcoal grill 55 min

    Grill the ribs over charcoal, keeping them 12 cm above the grill for 10 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes; the charcoal smoke is the authentic flavor of this restaurant.
