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. - Jak na to + styl
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.

I'm so happy for you Mandy, congratulations for your 1M subscribers finally!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I've only made it three times or so, but it's perfect every time! Today I'm making it for my sister's birthday (as per her own request) because of how much she loves this! I can't thank you enough for how delicious it is and how many people I have shared this recipe with. Love your work!
You're my favorite cooking channel on CZcams. Making this tonight!
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. 😭😭😭
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'm always looking for a new braised pork belly recipe! i'll be sure to try this one super soon, thank you so much for sharing!
The meat looks delicious! And I love the smell and taste of the star anise.
Great timing!! I've always wanted a clay pot to cook with, and there you were with one! Just bought it, I can't wait to try it out. Thanks!! Love your channel :).

I saw this dish for the first time yesterday. Like a musician reads a score, I went through this recipe in my head and was convinced that it must be absolutely great. 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.
I love all your videos!!! Can’t wait to make this!!!
I always thought this would be waaaay too complicated to make at home, but you make it seem quite achievable! I think I'll have to give it a go; thanks Mandy! ❤

Thank you, Mandy for a Double-Video Week. Your Clay Pot is perfect to make Cantonese Turnip Beef Stew. I'm glad your Own Cookware Line are Affordable, Functionable, Beautiful and on Everyone's Christmas Wish List. LOL! 😉
Thank you so much for sharing lu rou fan is one of my favorite food in Taiwan.
Can’t wait to make it, so simple but yet looks very delicious 😊
I've been waiting for this recipe!!
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.
thank you for sharing this recipe, i love to eat lu rou fan in Taiwan, I can now learn to make my own
Once again my thanks for the tip's and recipe, this most definitely is must. I am so excited to make this!!!! Have a happy
HOLIDAY MANDY..XOXO 🌉☝🏼🍸🙋🏻♀️💯

That's sounds, and looks, ssoooo good!
WOW a Friday video, what have I done right in my life to get this little piece of happiness? 🙂
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 :-)
Beautiful dish
So delicious! Oh My! Thank you!
Thank you for providing this recipe. I have made braised pork knuckles with preserved plum before, I can try this recipe. 😋😋😋😋
Looks incredible

Making the dish tonight in my instant pot but with beef chuck roast. Less water though only a cup of water. Have my rice going and about to sauté some Chinese cabbage. Yum!! Thank you for the recipe
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
Mandy, I am going to make this. Thanks, Best
this looks sooooo goood
i am a big fan of hong shao rou, this seems very interesting! i guess i have to try it out soon!!!
The lid for your clay pot is beautiful!
Looks yummy
My mom makes this all the time. It's good
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 ❤️.
THANKS

Pure paradise....

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 👏👏👏
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.
Thank you for the nice recept!
I'm drooling...
GORGEOUS❣️❣️❣️
Braising this now. The house smells amazing!
Delicious ..umami aplenty ; would taste great with pasta [ plain] or white Udon too
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
