- 237 ml white sticky rice
- 118 ml coconut milk
- 59.1 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 2.46 ml sriracha
- 113 g ground pork
- 0.62 ml salt
- 0.62 ml black pepper

Prepare
- 29.6 ml light brown sugar, packed
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 29.6 ml fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Combine 1 cup white sticky rice with 1 cup cold water in a bowl; cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. After soaking, pour the rice and any remaining liquid into a saucepan. Stir in ½ cup coconut milk and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for at least 5 minutes.
-
Step 2.
While the rice soaks or cooks, make the soy reduction: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon sriracha. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ¼ pound ground pork and season with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the pork with a wooden spoon, until it begins to brown, about 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
-
Step 4.
Carefully wipe out the skillet (it may be hot) and return it to medium heat. Brush with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Crack 2 large eggs into opposite sides of the pan to keep them from running together. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes for sunny-side-up yolks; for firmer yolks, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Divide the coconut rice between 2 serving bowls. Top each with ground pork and a fried egg. Drizzle with the soy reduction, sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
