Taiwanese Braised Minced Pork Over Rice – Lu Rou Fan

Taiwanese Braised Pork Over Rice – Lu Rou Fan is a typical street food in Taiwan that you can find almost every little town or district. The ingredients are simple but the flavor is rich and aromatic that you can probably smell the from the end of the block from the food vendor.

Simply pour over the rice to complete the main course, and the balance of the fat and lean meat from the pork belly will bring out the flavor even more. In addition to really nicely cooked rice, a simple meal is totally complete.

The key ingredient is the pork belly with fat and skin on is the best, but if you can’t find one with the skin on that would be fine. Just don’t trim off the fat, because fat is bringing out more flavor. The second key ingredient is shallots, almost all the typical Taiwanese food cooked with shallots or fried shallots. It gives the umami even more intense.
