OPEN for ingredients! Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan is a braised meat dish that is homely and comforting. Even though it's a typical homecooked dish, it's also one of the more popular street food in Taiwan. Even though 'lu rou fan' refers to braised meat, it is typically made with pork belly, simmered in a dark soy sauce broth with lots of delicious spices. The longer it's braised the better it tastes.
This recipe uses chicken, and I promise you, it tastes equally amazing! In fact, it has been one of my go-tos lately. The braised meat and addictive sauce with some white rice... favourite.
