- 2 cups broken rice or jasmine rice
- 3 cups water
- 4 (about 1 1/2 lb/680 g total) boneless pork chops
- 2 tbsp fish sauce

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp neutral oil

- 1 cup pickled carrot and daikon
- 4 fried egg

Let’s make it
- Cook the rice with the water until tender.
- Mix fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and oil. Coat the pork chops and marinate 10 minutes while the rice cooks.
- Grill or pan-sear the pork over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until it reaches 63 C/145 F and rests 3 minutes.
- Serve over rice with cucumber, pickles, fried egg, and scallions.
Slice the pork into strips before serving so it is easier for children to chew.
Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
