Description

This unique dish combines the comfort of soft, fried dough pockets with savory caramelized pork, served alongside a vibrant Thai-style fried rice. The pork is simmered in a sweet and salty sauce featuring fish sauce and kecap manis, creating a rich, umami flavor profile. The fried rice adds a textural contrast with its crispy edges, fresh peas, and scrambled egg ribbons. It is a hearty, satisfying meal that brings authentic Southeast Asian flavors to your table. Perfect for a weekend dinner or a special family gathering, this recipe offers a delicious twist on traditional pork chops. The combination of tender meat, aromatic herbs, and fluffy rice makes it a crowd-pleaser that is both indulgent and deeply comforting.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine sugar and water in a large deep frying pan; cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves.
  2. Increase heat to moderately high and bring mixture to the boil.
  3. Boil for 2 minutes or until mixture thickens and becomes syrupy.
  4. Add pork chops and green onion; cook and turn for 1 minute or until well coated with the syrup.
  5. Add fish sauce, kecap manis, pepper, and extra warm water; stir to combine.
  6. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and cover; simmer, turning chops halfway through, for 10 minutes or until pork is just cooked.
  7. Uncover and simmer for 2 more minutes to reduce sauce slightly.
  8. Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
  9. Add egg; tilt pan to cover base and sides. Cook for 1 minute or until set underneath.
  10. Slide egg onto a chopping board, roll up to form a log, and thinly slice.
  11. Add red onion to the wok; stir-fry for 1 minute or until soft.
  12. Add garlic and bacon; stir-fry for 3 minutes or until bacon is browned.
  13. Add the cooked rice, peas, and sliced egg; stir-fry for 2 minutes or until heated through.
  14. Serve pork with fried rice, drizzled with the remaining pan sauce and sprinkled with coriander.

Note

The ingredients list in the source appears corrupted. Based on the directions, you will need: pork chops, sugar, water, green onion, fish sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), pepper, oil, egg, red onion, garlic, bacon, cooked rice (microwave packet), frozen peas, and coriander leaves.

Kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce that is essential for the authentic flavor of this dish. If unavailable, substitute with a mix of light soy sauce and brown sugar.

For best results, use day-old cooked rice for the fried rice component as it has less moisture and will fry up crispier rather than becoming mushy.

The title "Fried Pork Bread" seems to be a misnomer for a dish that is essentially Pork Chops with Fried Rice. The "bread" element is not present in the ingredients or directions.
