Diced mushrooms absorbed all the flavor and sweetness during the braising. Super yum~

Method: 
(1) Cut pork belly into dice size. Season with the above listed condiments (except for the +2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and chicken powder). Mix well. Season for 1-2 hours. 

(2) Heat pot with oil over medium fire. Add chopped shallots and stir fry till fragrant. Add garlics and star anise, fry till aromatic and garlics turn brown. 

(3) Add rock sugar and seasoned pork dices. Stir to combine. Add chopped ginger, when rock sugar is dissolving. Continue to stir fry until rock sugar is totally dissolved. Add diced mushrooms, followed by the +2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce. Stir to mix well. 

(4) Add water, the water should be added enough to cover all the meat and slightly more. Add eggs, bring down fire to low, and continue to simmer for 1.5 hours long. 

(5) Blanch and drain the green veggie. Serve Lu Rou with (lots of) rice, egg and green.

做法:
(1)将五花肉切成小丁。将肉丁,用上列调味料 (除了+2汤匙黑酱油和鸡粉外),调味。拌匀腌制1-2小时。

(2)中火,加油锅热。加入红葱末,炒香。加入八角和大蒜,炒香和大蒜至金黄。

(3)加入冰糖和腌制好的猪肉丁,炒均匀。在冰糖溶解时,加入姜末。继续炒至冰糖完全溶解。加入香菇丁和+2汤匙的黑酱油。炒拌均匀。

(4)加水,水要盖过肉再多出1-2公分左右。加入鸡蛋,慢火卤1.5小时。

(5)煮烫后,并沥干绿蔬菜。将卤肉,大碗米饭,鸡蛋和蔬菜一起享用。

Add more meat sauce, if you like it wetter and more flavorful in your rice.

Simple To cook, yet tasty to enjoy! 做法超简单的!

Tips: Pork belly cannot be too lean. It’s the fats that make up the taste. 50/50 ratio is nice for me!
*Taiwanese-style braised diced meat (Lu Rou) is towards sweet side. So, don’t cut down the sugar. In fact, I added slightly bigger then golf ball sized rock sugar. 
*I don’t like the strong taste from dried mushrooms in this dish. So, I used fresh mushrooms instead. 
*Get those thick kinds of dark soy sauce. Not those watery types. 
*No cooking wine, rice wine, Chinese Hua Diao wine or mirin also can.

温馨提示:五花肉不能太瘦。构成这道佳肴的好味道就是那层厚脂肪。对我而言,肥瘦对半最棒了!
*台式卤肉就是偏甜的。所以不要减少冰糖的量。其实,我加的还比高尔夫球大小的冰糖稍大点。
*我不喜欢这道卤肉带干冬菇的浓烈味道。所以我改用鲜菇。
*要卤肉颜色好看而味道更好些,要用比较浓稠的黑酱油。黑黑的那种。
*没料酒,米酒,花雕酒或味琳都行。
