Traditional Taiwanese pork dish

About this dish

Braised pork rice (Taiwanese: khòng-bah-pn̄g, Chinese: 焢肉飯, 爌肉飯) is a gaifan dish found in Fujianese cuisine and Taiwanese cuisine. Although subject to regional variations, dishes are typically made of pork belly cooked in a process known as lǔ 滷 (boiled and marinated in soy sauce and sugar) and served on top of rice. Chinese pickles are often eaten with the dish. Braised pork belly likely originated from Quanzhou, China, and was brought to Taiwan by immigrants during the Qing Dynasty. Along with the similar ló͘-bah-pn̄g (minced pork rice), khong bah png gradually became an integral part of Taiwanese xiaochi culture, commonly found at food stalls or bento stores. Similar dishes can be found within Hakka cuisine, Singaporean, and Malaysian cuisine. Braised pork rice is one of the most notable Taiwanese foods.
