Lu Rou Fan (卤肉饭) is known for its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness and lushes sauce that goes amazing with the rice. I upgraded this recipe by deep fry the shallots with the pork fat that is rendered out from the pork belly so your final dish is not as oily. This is one of those recipes that you can make a big batch and portion it out. It stays good in the freezer for a few months and it reheats really well in the microwave.
INGREDIENTS
To braise the pork belly
2.5 lbs. 1130 grams of skin-on pork belly
8 slices of ginger
8 cloves of garlic
1 Star anise (Amazon Link - geni.us/uADlxmC)
1 Cinnamon stick (Amazon Link - geni.us/OL0NvcI)
3 Bay leaves (Amazon Link - geni.us/wdbPM)
1/3 cup of rock sugar or 4.5 tbsp of white sugar (Amazon Link - geni.us/zfpZ2B)
7 tbsp of light soy sauce, preferbably Taiwan Kim Lan brand (Amazon Link - geni.us/Jb7CkA)
1 cup of Shao Xing wine (Amazon Link - geni.us/Srd4)
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/BiI1ii)
1 tsp of white pepper (Amazon Link - geni.us/AiXk)
1 tsp of five-spice powder (Amazon Link - geni.us/Aw8i2UH)
2-4 cups of water
1/2 cup of fried shallots (Amazon Link - geni.us/r6OLW)
To make the fried shallot
6 shallots sliced thinly
1/3 cup of pork fat that is rendered from the pork belly
1/2 oz 15 grams of dried shrimps, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes.
Sides (optional) (Amazon Link - geni.us/VCWAJ)
Soft or hard-boiled eggs
Blanch bok choy
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the skin-on pork belly into 1/3 of an inch thick slaps then dice into 1/3 of an inch thick pieces. Pork skin contains a lot of gelatin, which makes the sauce thick, shiny and flavorful.
Pre-heat heavy-duty cookware (clay pot, dutch over, cast iron pot, or any other cookware that has thick walls) until nice and hot.
Add the pork without any oil and stir over medium-high heat until you get about 1/3 cup of pork fat. Tilt the pot to let the oil run to the side and transfer the fat into a saucepot. Reserve for later use.
Add garlic, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and rock sugar to the pork. Continue to stir until the aromatics are fragrant.
Add the rest of the seasonings: light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, white pepper, and five-spice powder. Stir well and make sure you scrape the bottom to deglaze all that brown bits.
Pour in 2 - 4 cups of hot water and simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours. The amount of water needed may vary depending on your stove and cookware. Keep an eye on it during the simmering to make sure it is not evaporated too much. If you do end up needing to add more water, please add hot water, don’t add cold water.
Fry the shallot slices in the pork fat over medium-low heat until lightly golden. Meanwhile, mince the rehydrated dry shrimp and add to the pork fat. Continue to fry for a few more minutes or until the shallots are golden brown. Dried shrimp is an optional ingredient, but it adds a third dimension to the dish, the fragrance becomes more complex and pungent.
Drain the oil by using a sieve. We only need the shallot for this recipe. You can save the oil for other uses.
Add the fried shallots to the braising pork and give it a stir. Let it keep simmering for the rest of the time.
Once done, pick out the spices. Skim off any excess fat. The final dish should be thick, sticky, and saucy. If yours is too thin, you can reduce it. If it is too thick, you can add a little more water. Taste to adjust the flavor.
Scope the meat over some white rice. Serve with soft/hard-boiled eggs and blanched leafy vegetables. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
How to use the shallot pork fat in other recipes:
1. Put a tsp into your wonton soup, noodle soup, hot and sour soup. It will bring the dish to another level.
2. Use it as regular oil to make stir fry vegetables. The fragrance will give you a nice feeling when you put the dish on the table.
3. It can also be a replacement for sesame oil if you are allergic to sesame.

Hi Mandy. Next is Taiwanese pork chops which this accompanies very frequently. Thanks for all these recipes including fu chai fei pien, assorted beef slices one of my favorites. Am lucky to live fairly close to NYC where all the dishes are readily available and many Taiwanese shops are growing popular. Your post here gives me a chance to be more familiar with what is served, thanks again.
Wow that really looks delicious! I can't wait to make that. I made your hot and sour soup that was wonderful and I put three tablespoons of white pepper in it you were right that is very warming. Thank you very much for teaching me these recipes.

I cooked it today and am just at the last taste. It's absolutely great. A firework of taste. I can only recommend this. That tastes sensational.
Looks soooo good! I always appreciate how you mention how long each step should take ^^
When I first found your channel, I made the braised pork belly (using your old video recipe) and used your Taiwanese popcorn chicken recipe (made cutlets instead of popcorn) with white rice, a side of bok choy, and some corn. My fiance and my roommate fell in love. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. 😭😭😭

Ok, I have to congratulate you on your marketing skills! I was watching this whole video thinking, “what the hell is a clay pot? I’ve never seen that in the store and I wouldn’t even know where to look.” Then BAM! Clay pot! I will very likely be purchasing that soon because I really want to eat this recipe
I make it with a instant pot before I got that I used a sauce pan.
@@lisacastano1064 I don’t have one of those, just a stock pot. The clay pot is pretty affordable though.
@@darthclaire7179 I don't have a clay pot yet lol but any pan will work I've even used a cast iron skillet to make this
Hello beautiful, your Chanel is such an inspiration, I am glad I have been recommended your Chanel because I enjoy watching it and have learned so much, the most important I have learned is a beauty of your culture and I am very grateful for that, and you make your videos very professionally and I enjoy it even more, great job you are your culture ambassador😊
It looks delicious 😋
This looks so delicious.
I cooked it up yesterday. It's fantastic! Fireworks on the palate. I changed 2 little things for my taste: 1. I only used half of the sugar because I don't want to be too dominant in savory dishes. 2. I added some heat in the form of dried chilies as a counterweight to sweetness.
wow that claypot looks beautiful, i want all your cookware lol
I want that cleaver!
Mandy, I am going to make this. Thanks, Best
Thank you for the nice recept!
Thank you for providing this recipe. I have made braised pork knuckles with preserved plum before, I can try this recipe. 😋😋😋😋
I cannot wait to try this recipe and your clay pot is beautiful with the hammered effect and the blue lid. I’ve always wanted one and so happy I waited to purchase one because yours is a great size and the look of it is just absolutely beautiful. I just purchased and cannot wait to get it to make this and all your other delicious looking dishes.
Thank you so much for the support. I am very happy that you like the clay pot - means a lot to me.. I will have a lot of clay pot recipes coming out soon =)

Thank you 💕
Looks yummy
tank yau sister.i will try to cook for grandma.😇😇
Pure paradise....
i am a big fan of hong shao rou, this seems very interesting! i guess i have to try it out soon!!!
Omg I just watched your older video a few days ago and was gonna get ingredients today. This is perfect timing. Can't wait to make it!
I used this recipe, and it's great! Thanks Mandy, love your channel. One thing I tried in addition to this recipe is to blanch the pork belly. I think when I did this, the sauce turned out even cleaner. To blanch, cut into big cubes, and put in warm (not boiling) water, then bring to slow boil for like 5m. Then, pour all the stuff out. Then, do the Mandy recipe :-)
I love you channel Mandy👍🏽🥰🙏
I'm drooling...
Great job :)
Marry this woman, your whole life will be blessed with good food..
You know the food is good when you just chow down without stopping to breathe. That meal looked so delicious. How did you cook your bok choi? And definitely getting a clay pot ❤️.
looks deeeeeeeeeelicious
Delicious ..umami aplenty ; would taste great with pasta [ plain] or white Udon too
Bless your little hand in that massive oven glove.. 😊
really cool! ;)
Braising this now. The house smells amazing!
This I will certainly try.
Just ordered the same Iwatani 35FW Butane Table Top Burner (15,000 BTU). My other burners only give half that BTU.
GORGEOUS❣️❣️❣️
One of my favorite food in Taiwan When I working there for 10yrs.I miss food in Taiwan
This was the best thing to eat when visiting my Taiwanese friends.
Made this minus the dried shrimp bc I don’t care for it. Subbed with shiitake mushrooms instead like Marion’s kitchen. This recipe is PERFECTION ❤. Thank you, Mandy for sharing this delicious recipe. Your recipes are always on point. Keep up the great work 👏👏👏
Yummy
i love your videos, thank you for all your efforts!! :D a question, should we add eggs to the clay pot in the cooking process if we want it the taiwanese way ?
Good stuff girl
your channel makes me so happy! it's very sad that the clay pot is no longer available! But looking forward to more videos and products
It is still available, Amazon is arranging our inventory currently. If the too much orders come in too fast, it will show out of stock. Just check back in an hour or 2, it will be in stock again - amzn.to/3DFtJVO
The presentation on this dish was very impressive, great job
Your new pot is so beautiful! Congratulations on adding it to your cooking ware collection.
Will it become available for Europe? I've been cooking with your wok and I love it, it has earned a prominent spot in our kitchen. I'd love to cook with your pot too ✨
Nevermind, I saw your notice in the pinned comment! Thank you
