Braised pork rice, a beloved comfort food, is celebrated for its tender meat, savory sauce, and heartwarming aroma. Here’s a straightforward recipe to recreate this classic dish at home.
Start by preparing the ingredients: 500g pork belly (cut into cubes), 5 boiled eggs, 1 cup rice, and aromatics like garlic, ginger, and scallions. For the braising liquid, mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 star anise, a piece of cinnamon, and enough water to cover the pork.
Heat oil in a pot, sear the pork cubes until golden, then add garlic and ginger until fragrant. Pour in the braising liquid, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1.5–2 hours until the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Add boiled eggs in the last 30 minutes to absorb the flavor.
Simmer the sauce to a thick consistency, then serve the pork and eggs over steamed rice, drizzling with extra sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions for a fresh finish. This dish pairs perfectly with pickled vegetables. Simple yet satisfying, homemade braised pork rice brings the taste of tradition to your table.
