Lu Rou Fan is a Taiwanese braised pork and rice dish. The meat is typically stewed for at least an hour and a half so it is so tender. If you've never had it before, you should give it a try!

- 2 tbsp of soy sauce [2汤匙生抽]
- 1/3 cup of fried shallot [1/3杯炸洋葱]

- 1 tsp of dark soy sauce [1茶匙老抽]
- 1 tsp of five spice [1茶匙五香粉] [Amazon link: geni.us/G4yA9Z]

*ADD WHEN SERVING*
- 1 Egg [1个鸡蛋]
- Bok choy [上海青]
*HOW TO COOK*
*MARINATE THE PORK BELLY*
- Cut the pork belly into strips. Then cut it into small size. It is about half inch thick.
-Mix it with 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tbsp of Shao xing wine. Set it aside for at least 30 minutes.
*FRY THE SHALLOTS*
- Cut the shallots into thin strips。
- Add 1/2 cup of oil to a small sauce pot, fry the shallots on low heat. It will take about 5-8 minutes to get it golden brown.
- Strain it And you got your fried shallots.
*BRAISE THE PORK BELLY*
- Heat up your wok. Add in your pork belly without oil. Stir fry it on medium heat.
- Once you see it is getting a little burned on the bottom, then add the Shao xing wine, soy sauce, rock sugar, ginger, garlic, star anise and a pinch of five spice. Keep stirring it until the sugar melts.
- Pour in 1 and half liter of water.
- Add in the fried shallot we made before and add a tsp of dark soy sauce for color.
- Bring it to a boil. `
- Turn the heat to low, let it stew for 1 -2 hours, depends on how tender you want.
- After 1 and half hours the sauce still pretty thin. And there is a lot of fat floating on the top. Skim out the fat so your pork won’t be too oily.
- Now you gonna turn the heat to high, start reducing the sauce. It will just take about few minutes. You will see a lot of bubbles and the sauce is getting thick.
- When the sauce is almost gone, you can turn off the heat.
This is perfect to serve with rice. Serve it with some vegetables and an egg for a nicely balanced meal!

This was an amazing dish. I put mine on low for 2 hours and then did a duck egg and bok choy and I can't describe in words the joy my taste buds had.
I made this today, and no joke it was one of the best things I've ever had. I put some fermented black beans through the rice and it was great. I also used the fat I scooped off to fry some aubergines and they were also delicious!

OHHHHH good idea!
I have been making this at least once a month for the past year and it is faultless. We absolutely love it!!
I made this but I had a very difficult time not eating the fried shallots before I added them to the wok. haha
I tried this recipe and it earned a permanent place in our weekly menu. Two easy substitutions: pork shoulder instead of pork belly, and sweet onions instead of shallots. I use a pressure cooker for 30 mins on low and it comes out just like the video!

Does that much liquid really reduce to a sauce in a pressure cooker?

@@Sorcha0307 That's a really good question, I did not put in the same amount of water as in the video. You should never fill it more than halfway with liquid. I used just enough water to cover all the pieces of meat. If there is too much liquid after pressure cooking, I leave the pot opened and simmer for few mins until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Thank you so much for the recipe! It's very easy to follow and I like that you get straight to the point :) I made this for the first time yesterday and my dad (who's been working at Chinese restaurants all his life) said that it was very similar to what he's had in restaurants!
I made this and it was sooooo good. It was very easy to make too just hard to wait 2 hours when it made the house smell so good. I used brown sugar instead of rock sugar and white wine since I didn't have the Chinese wine. Thanks so much for this recipe.
When it comes to chinese cooking recipe tutorials, this is the best channel. Always easy and simple to follow.
Mandy, you are so delightful and endearing! I have to re-watch your recipes because I end up just watching your reactions and comments on how delicious the dish is while you’re eating it. Thank you very much! Take care and be safe.
I just made this and it was sooooo delicious. Thank you so much for the recipe
Excellent recipe. Tried it exactly as described, and it came out wonderfully. I've tried other variations, and this is so far my favorite.
So so good! I wish I could share the picture of how it turned out. My husband had three servings.
Made it for the second time today it is delicious! I used a little bit less sugar and water, it was perfect. Many thanks for the good recipe!
I made this dish and it really was unbelievable delicious. I made it exactly as you did with the only difference, that I didn't fry the onions separaty but together with the meat (I added them a little bit later, that worked very well). I also served it with pak choy an with egg. Thanks for this great recipe.
Just made it today, super yummy. Thank you for the recipe. I tripped the portion so that can have some for another day, Instead of stewing it in the pot, I put it into pressure cooker at high pressure for 30 minutes with water just covered all the meat. It came out beautifully and meat was soft and flavourful. This will be regular in our menu.
Just finished making this and it’s AMAZING! I highly recommend you make this, you will be impressed. Thank you for sharing this!
I've been trying many different lu rou recipes over the last few weeks but this tasted the best to me! Thanks for providing very clear instructions. :)
You have inspired me to broaden my cooking skills and venture out of my comfort zone. Thankyou
My husband and I had a religious experience trying this today! I made mine with some minor tweaks to the aromatics and it was amazing! Thank you so much! ❤
It's so nice to watch a cooking video where the chef actually eats what they have cooked, well done I've subscribed
Thankyou for the recipe . I fell in love with this dish after visiting Taipei last year and have been wanting to make it myself
Thank you for the recipe! Another delicious dish! I watched the video more than 3 times to make sure I do it right. It took about 4 hours to make the dish. Good thing they have all the spices at the Asian Grocery store nearby :)
This is one of the best recipes I have tried for braised pork belly. You can skip the ginger, star anis and it still tasted good 😊
Love this channel! Your English is wonderful and you make everything seem so relaxed and easy! Thank you
Love it - mine is now braising and filling the house with a beautiful aroma - greetings from Australia and thank you!
Just finished making this dish and it was so good. Thank you so so much. Tasted exactly as the Chinese restaurant we visited.
I’ve made This recipe and it’s been such a hit with my family & friends. Thank you!!!!!!!
Made this today as I had some belly pork and all the other ingredients. To my surprise it turned out really well! Shall make it again. This is an easy to follow recipe, as most of yous are. Thanks for sharing with us.
You are awesome, your recipes are wonderful, and I love seeing what you cook up next! I have made this but I pre-boiled the pork first, a bit less fat in the end. Soooo good!
Thanks very much for your demonstration! I definitely going to try today!😋👍🙏💕
I will try this recipe later in the week. I love cooking and recently been trying Chinese recipes having bought a new wok. I'm British and belly pork is one of the cheaper cuts of pork and can be tough but I think this will be really good. Thank you for your easy to follow videos.
I bought some pork belly yesterday and thought I will go to Souped Up Recipes and this is the recipe I made. It was yummy. My tummy is very happy :)
Really love this simple and fuss free recipe ❤️ I have tried it twice and my family loves it! I adjusted the total soy sauce usage to 2.5 tbsp and total sugar usage to 20g to suit our taste better. I have tried it without the shallots and it tasted great as well 🥰

Thanks Mandy, this recipe is just so good and the best! Superb delicious and my mother in law commented my Lu Rou Fan taste even better than the one she ate in Taiwan during her holiday! Amazing, I love it so much and this dish make me so proud when I cooked for my relative and friends ! Cheers❤
루로우판...대만가서 먹어봣는데 진짜 매일 먹을수 있겟더라구요...설명해 주셔서 감사합니다.
I tried this recipe today and the whole family loved it.
Mmm mmm! Just made this. It’s so good and tender. I was expecting it to be a little sweeter because I’m unfamiliar with the name of this dish but it was really really good! It is more on the salty savory juicy tender pork belly side of things. Cannot wait to try more of her recipes!
I am loving this channel. I just made this Lu Rou Fan for supper. It truly was melt in your mouth tender, and so flavorful. That sauce...mmmm. I would say it was the best Chinese pork dish I have ever had, but then I remember the last recipe I tried from SoupedUpRecipes which was Twice-Cooked Pork. Both are so delicious. Next up for me will be Braised Chicken Legs. So many of your recipes yet to try.
I’m really addicted to all of your videos… I keep watching all of them since I love all the dishes and trying to cook them one at a time. Thanks for sharing!
Made this last week. Everyone absolutely loved it. 😊
This was excellent! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I'm eating this right now! I followed your recipe and it tastes so good like I'm in Taiwan! Thank you for your recipe!
i made this tonight after checking many similar recipes. this one seemed the easiest and the comments helped my choose this recipe. I added chopped brown onion when i added garlic and ginger- then right at the end i added some red and green capsicum and the other half of the onion all chopped quite big. also garnished with coriander. the dish was great! so much flavour and tender meat. I will def make this again.
Just tried this today. Add a little oyster sauce. Taste like heaven❤
This is the best recipe , i did it many times , turn out wonderful ! Much tks!
Wonderful dish I was so unsure until the final reduction that I cooked a quick stir fry just in case ! It wasn’t needed as this was so good thank you
I made it yesterday and it turned out great. My husband loves it!
Made this and the taste is superb! Thank u so much for this recipe! 😊
Just cooked this dish and it was amazing,i didn’t think the fat of the pork would be nice but it just melted in my mouth.i am a new subscriber can’t wait to cook more of your food.
My pork belly is simmering away, I am so excited to see the final result, thank you so much for posting videos X
Made it last night, and IT WAS AMAZING!! Thank u so much

You do a great job communicating with an English Speaking Audience--Thanks--I am going to try this recipe!!!!
love this I have cooked it many times and it just gets better
Bought a smoked port belly..................couldn't think of any where else to turn to for expert advice and a great video except Mandy !!! TO ADD: Mandy, your recipe is delicious!! All of your recipes which I've tried are fantastic!!! I'm on a very limited budget and I love to cook for my family when they visit. One of my sons bought me a terrific wok several years ago and I want to be buried with it because it gives such wonderful "wok hei" I will give it to my son. Thank you SO much for your incredible cooking recipes, cooking skills and history when you include that, too!! I hope your arthritis is manageable these days, too 😄❤
We no longer go out for Asian food. We watch your amazing videos and eat well.. Thank you so much 😊
Finally got around to making this and it was a winner with the kids. Thanks ❤ for sharing this and all of your recipes. Your wok is awesome as well!
Im hungry!!! I used this recipe for the first time this weekend and it is sooo yummy. I had 1kg of pork belly but I used the same amount of ingredients as recommended and it went very well. In fact I only used 1L of water and my pork still came out melt in the mouth. I also only cooked it for a shorter time. I guess it boils down to the quality of pork and how you cut your meat. I didn’t have rock sugar to I substituted with coconut sugar and it worked just as well. I’ll use this recipe again.
Wonderful ! This recipe is perfect, not hard at all very relaxing AND the pork belly is just incredible, thank you !
Can't wait to try this! Thanks for all your videos!
Delicious recipe, one of my favourites from Asia.
I am making this now. Smells wonderful and I can’t wait . I used black vinegar instead of wine....? Later: Oh my. By far the best meal I have ever cooked. Thank you Mandy.
i'm in love! Going to try this recipe this week.
Thank you for your awesome video! I made this dish today.
I am cooking the braised pork now and I hope it turns out as good as yours looks, thanks for sharing
Great presentation.Ty for sharing.
Goodness, that looks so good!!! If pork belly isn't easy to find, can you recommend another cut of pork to use in it's place?
Great recipe! It's an absolute hit with hubby.
