Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Introduction
Braised Pork Rice, also known as Lu Rou Fan, originated from the traditional specialty snack market in Zhongpu Township, Chiayi County. It inherits the culinary skills passed down from mothers and offers selections of high-quality Taiwanese rice that is cooked to perfection—each grain distinctively bouncy and chewy. It is complemented with premium, fresh pork leg meat that has been simmered for six hours on low heat, achieving a golden ratio of 3:7 between transparent fat and tender lean meat. This is then drizzled with pure black bean brewed soy sauce, creating an exclusive and exquisite braised meat sauce. The sticky and gelatin-rich meat sauce is served over a generous portion of soft, chewy white rice, finished with a sprinkle of cilantro and homemade sour pickles. This simple combination results in an unforgettable and delicious bowl of Braised Pork Rice, showcasing high-quality, wholesome flavors.
