Method
Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear.
Mix the minced pork with a little of the light soy sauce and white pepper and shape into small meatballs.
Peel and julienne the ginger, mince the garlic, and slice the spring onions.
Bring the chicken stock to the boil in a large saucepan, add the rinsed rice, and simmer, stirring every few minutes, for 25 minutes until it breaks down into a thick, smooth porridge.
Drop the pork meatballs into the porridge and simmer for 6 minutes, checking with a meat thermometer that they reach 71 degrees Celsius all the way through.
Crack the eggs into the porridge one at a time and poach gently for 3 minutes until the whites are just set.
Stir in the remaining light soy sauce and season with white pepper.
Ladle into bowls and top with the ginger, spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
