Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan) — Street Food Institution
Taiwan
Lu rou fan (卤肉饭) is Taiwan's most beloved comfort food: minced or finely diced pork belly braised in soy, rice wine, rock sugar, five spice, and fried shallots until the fat is gelatinous and the meat glossy. Served over white rice with braised egg, preserved vegetables, and blanched greens. The dish is eaten from street stalls, beef noodle shops, and family restaurants with equal reverence.
