Savory Taiwanese Pork Rice Bowl 🥓🍚 Detailed recipe in bio 🔗 This is my take on lu rou fan, a famous Taiwanese pork egg rice bowl 🫶 The first time I tasted this dish, I actually had to pause because I couldn’t believe it was pork belly. It slowly softens in this perfectly balanced cozy sauce, where Chinese 5-spice takes center stage. The glazed pork belly feels almost unreal, like it shouldn’t be able to melt in your mouth the way it does. It’s tender in that quiet, comforting way that surprises you each time you take a bite. I know saying it melts in your mouth sounds dramatic, but honestly… it really does, and I wish I had a less clickbaity way to describe it. This bowl is warm, sticky, savory, and the kind of thing you end up stirring on the stove while the whole kitchen smells like home.
