Taiwan style Lu Rou by Lm Chung


I adapted the recipe from http://taiwanduck.com/braised-pork-on-rice-lu-rou-fan.../ and here's how I did it roughly

1. Cut not so fatty pork belly (abt 400g) into small chunks
2. Fry 4-5 sliced shallots till golden, removed
3. With the shallots oil, place the pork belly into pan and fry till it turns opaque.
4. Put in two finely chopped garlic and 2 tbsp finely chopped dried shrimp
5. When the meat is a little brown, add in 1.5 tbsp of dark soya sauce, rock sugar, 2 star anise and 1 tsp 5 spice powder and fry till the meat is evenly coated with the dark soya sauce and fragant
6. Drizzle in 2 tbsp of chinese cooking wine. Then add in fried shallots, light soya sauce and enough water to cover the pork. Once it boils, cover and simmer for at least 30 mins. You may also add in hard boiled eggs, mushroom.
