Steps to make Lu Rou Fan (滷肉饭 - Taiwanese braised pork rice bowl):
- For the eggs, in a large pot on medium heat. Bring it to a boil and add the eggs into the pot. Set timer to cook eggs as per preference.

Once cooked immediately transfer eggs to a large mixing bowl filled with ice cold water to stop it cooking. Set aside.
- Cut the pork belly (I used butchers pork) slices into 1/2 inch thickness. In a medium size pan, on medium heat. Let the pan heat up for a minute and add the pork belly slices. Tip: if pork belly does not have enough fat content add oil when searing meat). Cook and sear meat until it has browned.
- In a muslin (optional) add the dry ingredients, ginger slices, garlic cloves, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns. Then tie up the muslin securely and set aside.
- In a stockpot on medium heat add oil, then add the onions and ginger slices, sauté for a 3 minutes until onions are slightly soft. Add the pork belly slices, muslin (dry spices) and stir.
- Let the flavours infuse in the pot for a few minutes. Then add the carrots and shiitake mushrooms. Incorporate all of the ingredients well, for the aromas to be released. Add enough water to cover the pork, along with the dark soy, light soy, 1/4 cup shaoshing and a dash of sesame oil. Stir, add the rock sugar and mix well. Let the rock sugar dissolve, taste the sauce and adjust as needed (add more rock sugar or soy) and let it simmer for 15 minutes with a lid on.
- Remove the lid, stir all of the ingredients together. Cover again with a lid and let it simmer for another 20 minutes. After second simmer add 1/3 cup shaoshing rice wine. Stir well to incorporate into mixture. Add the pre boiled eggs and reduce the heat to low. Now let it simmer for another 20 minutes to let the eggs marinade and for the meat to become soft and tender. Turn the eggs every so often to fully coat all over.
- The sauce will slowly reduce and the meat will become soft and tender. Tip: If the sauce is loose, add a small amount of cornflour mixture to thicken it. Once the sauce has reduced and the meat is tender turn off heat and serve immediately while hot.
- Place rice in a bowl and ladle over the meat and sauce. Remove an egg from the pot, carefully peel egg as it will be hot. Once the shell has been removed, cut egg in half. Garnish with spring onions on top (if adding to dish).
