Cơm Tấm Sườn is a traditional Vietnamese dish featuring broken rice topped with grilled marinated pork ribs, complemented by pickled vegetables and a fried egg. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with protein, making it a satisfying lunch option.

Ingredients

• Broken rice - 200 grams
• Pork ribs - 300 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 2, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Eggs - 2
• Pickled carrots and daikon - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Rinse the broken rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, shallots, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper to create a marinade for the pork ribs. Add the ribs, ensuring they are well coated, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Drain the soaked rice and cook it in a rice cooker or pot according to the package instructions.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork ribs for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
5. While the ribs are cooking, fry the eggs sunny-side up in another pan to your desired doneness.
6. Serve the cooked rice on plates, topped with the grilled pork ribs, a fried egg, pickled vegetables, and cucumber slices. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
