Make your rice according to directions on the package (I usually double it to make sure I have enough). Put it in a tupperware to keep it from drying. Cut your onions, tomatoes, & cucumber. Cover with cling film and keep refrigerated until it's time to serve.

Grate ginger & chop garlic. In a small bowl, add both, then 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, & fish sauce. Mix well.

You can keep your pork chops on the bone or cut them in smaller sizes. In a zip lock bag, put the pork & ginger garlic mix. Close the bag and massage well to make sure all the meat is well coated. Marinate for at least an hour. In a pan on medium/high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot (after a minute or so), add the pork chops. While the pork is cooking, start plating. Quickly reheat your rice, put it in a small rice bowl, put a plate on top and flip it over. Your rice will be neatly piled this way. Make your salad; distribute cucumbers, tomatoes, & onions evenly on each plate, and add a lime wedge as the dressing. Finally plate your pork chops, add a few cilantro leaves and serve!
