Steps:
- Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes.

Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon ginger in a bowl; rub all over the pork.
