Braised Minced Pork Over Rice 肉燥饭

---

My uncle is sharing his recipe – braised minced pork over rice. The dish is similar to Taiwanese braised pork Lu rou fan (滷肉饭) and Japanese sobori don (そぼろ丼). The minced pork is braised in soybean paste, soy sauce, onions, garlic and more for a savory and sweet dish. The minced pork is paired with a sunny side egg and hot white rice.

My uncle says to be careful, because this dish can be so addicting that you will be eating many bowls of rice (I completely agree, it’s THAT GOOD!). Pair the dish with green vegetables for a complete easy comfort meal!

As you might know, my uncle’s dishes are AMAZING! Check out more of his famous chinese dishes below!

• Hot and Sour Soup – spicy and flavorful authentic hot and sour soup to warm you up!
• Vegetarian Mapo Tofu – sichuan style mapo tofu always tastes great with white rice
• Thai Basil Chicken – chicken and vegetable stir fry with chilis’ and lime for an exceptional main dish.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR BRAISED MINCED PORK OVER RICE:

In order to get the same taste as my uncle, I recommend to use similar products listed below:

• 1 pound ground pork – (you can use ground chicken as well!)
• 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado oil)
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine – the wine helps cut back on the gaminess of the meat. No substitutions for this.
• 1 tablespoon soybean sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup – helps balance the sweetness
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon chicken bouillon
• 1/2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce – my uncle makes his own, but you can buy this as well!
• 1.5 cups light lager beer – I used Bud Light! – when you cook this down, the meat and sauce becomes sweet! No substitutions for this.

garnish:

• fried eggs
• togarashi (optional)
• furikake (optional)
• green onions chopped

STEPS TO MAKE THE BRAISED MINCED PORK OVER RICE:

• Step 1. Chop 1/2 onion. Mince garlic and set aside.
• Step 2. Heat wok or pan on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil and then add chopped onions and minced garlic. Once garlic starts browning, add minced pork. Stir fry for 5 minutes and break apart the pork.

• Step 3. Add 1 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine, soybean paste sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon and teriyaki sauce to the minced pork. Mix together and fry for 5 more minutes. Continue to break apart the minced until it all separates!

• Step 4. Open a can of beer and add 3/4 cup of beer to the minced pork. Cover and cook for 20 more minutes on low-medium heat. (Braising Step)

• Step 5. Add 3/4 cup of beer to the minced pork and cook for 10 more minutes on medium heat (keep uncovered! to thicken the sauce).
• Step 6. Fry your eggs in a pan. Then, serve minced pork with hot rice and a sunny side egg. Feel free to add some furikake or togarashi on top. Hope you enjoy!
