braised pork rice
Braised pork rice, known as lu rou fan in Mandarin, is a popular dish in Taiwanese cuisine. It consists of finely chopped pork belly that is slowly braised in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and spices, resulting in tender, flavorful meat. The dish is typically served over a bed of steamed white rice, allowing the savory sauce to soak into the grains.
Accompanying the braised pork, you may find pickled vegetables, boiled eggs, or steamed greens, which add freshness and balance to the meal. This comforting dish is often enjoyed as a quick lunch or dinner and is a staple in many Taiwanese households and eateries.
