1
Prep
Mince the lemongrass and garlic. Combine fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, brown sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl; add pork shoulder and coat thoroughly.
2

Cover and refrigerate the pork for 30 minutes until the lemongrass and fish sauce penetrate the meat.

In the same pan over medium heat, fry the egg 2 to 3 minutes until the white is set and yolk edges firm.
