Braised Minced Pork Over Rice 肉燥饭

January 5, 2023

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Braised Minced Pork Over Rice

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

    Just made this! Had to use soy sauce instead of the soybean sauce because I couldn’t find it, I’m not sure if they are similar or not. But it was delicious!! I love your recipes

      Thank you so much Brianna ◡̈ The soybean sauce is sometimes hard to find in grocery stores 😉 Sometimes they don’t have it at mine as well. But if you do see it, I recommend getting it!

❤️ best potstickers recipe is in our family cookbook (cookwithdana.com/shop or link in bio to purchase)

I know I’m not the best wrapper lol don’t make fun of me pls. 🤓

Cooking Tip: If you make some modifications to the filling, you can make wontons and potstickers all at once. Although, you will need different types of wrappers: thin egg wrappers for wontons and thick ones for potstickers. There is also a difference in cooking methods as wontons are usually boiled while potstickers are pan-fried for a crispy exterior.

The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a soy cured egg to your rice, noodles or any carb you wish (porridge and toast too!). The raw egg yolks are marinated in soy sauce, mirin & other goodies (bonito, kombu, garlic and onions) for a few hours or overnight. The textures and flavors vary depending on how long you marinate them for. I preferred marinating the eggs overnight (24 hours) to achieve a jammy and umami flavored egg yolk!

See my blog post (link in bio) to see detailed instructions and tips to make the perfect soy cured egg or google ‘soy eggs dana’ for the recipe!

I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! E I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! Especially on my katsu and donburi (rice) bowls . The teriyaki tastes slightly sweet, savory, and reminds me of donburi bowls in Japan! To get this authentic taste, I cook @mizkanflavors Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning, soy sauce, sugar and sake together. Adding extra slices of ginger helps with the gaminess of pork and balances the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze. The sauce is very versatile and can be used on many Japanese traditional dishes such as pork katsu, fish, chicken or steamed vegetables.

One of my favorite donburi is pork katsu! So, I created a tasty recipe that did not require oil frying. This air-fryer recipe comes very close to the fried version and tastes not as heavy. The exterior is crispy and fragrant! The best part is that I eat it with scrambled eggs, fresh rice and teriyaki. Hope you get to try out this delicious recipe!

Servings:  2 people
Ingredients- 

Air-Fryer Pork Katsu:
- 2 pork cutlets (boneless, ½-pound each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

Teriyaki Glaze:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Mizkan® Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 slices ginger, ¼ inch thick each approximately x-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon sake
