About Braised Pork Rice
Tiffy Chen’s Taiwanese braised pork rice follows a family recipe passed down from her great-grandmother. Hand-cut pork belly is the defining meat choice, rather than finely minced pork, with fried shallots and soy seasonings in the sauce.
Light and dark soy sauces, rice wine and five-spice powder give the pork its savoury aromatic character. Sugar rounds out the sauce, with white pepper adding another seasoning note.
Tender pork and sauce are spooned over cooked rice in a large bowl. Braised Taiwanese yolky eggs, cilantro, additional fried shallots and sliced cucumber complete the layered serving.
