Braised pork rice ( Lu Rou Fan)
Braised pork rice ( Lu Rou Fan) , is a popular Taiwanese dish that consists of tender and flavorful braised pork served over a bed of steamed rice. The pork is typically simmered in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and various aromatic spices until it becomes succulent and fragrant.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork belly skin-on
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic mince
- 2 inch ginger sliced
- 2 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Steamed rice for serving

Instructions
- Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin intact for added texture.
