Rinse the broken rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.

Marinate the pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper for at least an hour.

Grill the marinated pork chops until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

In a small pan, fry the eggs sunny side up.

To make the scallion oil, heat the vegetable oil in a pan, then add the chopped scallions. Cook until the scallions are wilted.

To make the Nuoc Cham sauce, mix together fish sauce, lime juice, water, sugar, minced garlic, and chopped chili. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

To serve, plate a portion of rice, a pork chop, a fried egg, and some cucumber slices. Drizzle the scallion oil over the rice and serve with the Nuoc Cham dipping sauce.
