Taiwanese Family-Style Braised Pork Rice (Crock Pot, Pressure Cooker, Gas Stove Methods)

When my son was just over a year old, I took him to Taiwan for a visit. My dad cooked a big pot of hand-cut braised pork and served it over white rice for him. My son was so happy eating it, bowl after bowl, never getting tired of it. Seeing his grandson enjoy the meal so much, my dad was over the moon with pride. 😊 My dad's family recipe for braised pork rice is unique and delicious because he adds half a piece of fermented tofu to the braising liquid. The sweetness and aroma of the fermented tofu elevate the dish's flavor. I say that after eating this legendary braised pork rice, you'll crave it again. Try cooking it, and you'll see. 😆

Steps
- 1
✅ Place the pork belly in a pot, add cold water, 1 green onion, ginger slices, and a little rice wine. Bring to a boil, skim off impurities, reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
✅ Once the pork is cooled, cut it into strips about 0.2-0.4 inches wide. Reserve the pork broth, discard the ginger and green onion, and save the broth for braising later.
✅ Heat a dry pan, add the cut pork, and stir-fry until the outside is slightly golden and the pork fat is rendered. Remove most of the pork fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add soy sauce along the edge of the pan, then add all remaining braising seasonings and the tied green onions. Pour in 3 cups of pork broth. You can decide whether to add the last cup of broth based on the braising liquid's consistency.

💡💡 Crock Pot Method:
After the braised pork comes to a boil, transfer it to a crock pot, add fried tofu and hard-boiled eggs, cover, and set to high for 3-4 hours. For low, set it to cook for over 8 hours. I used high for 4 hours. If you prepare it the night before, you can use low to cook overnight and have braised pork rice ready in the morning. XD - 3
💡💡 Pressure Cooker Method:
After the braised pork comes to a boil, transfer it to a pressure cooker, cover, and set the time for 20-25 minutes. Once done, release the pressure, add hard-boiled eggs and fried tofu, and simmer on low for another 10-20 minutes. - 4
💡💡 Gas Stove Method:
After the braised pork comes to a boil, add fried tofu and hard-boiled eggs, cover, and simmer on low for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. If the liquid reduces too much, add more pork broth as needed. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor and thicker the sauce.✅ Serve a bowl of white rice, top with the braised pork, and garnish with braised eggs, yellow pickled radish, and cilantro. Enjoy!

☆ Ling's Kitchen Notes:
1. Fermented tofu with rice sauce is the best choice for this dish, adding sweetness and aroma. If unavailable, regular or spicy fermented tofu can be used.2. It's best to choose pork belly with skin for a gelatinous texture, or you can buy pork skin separately, blanch it, and cut it into small pieces to cook together.
3. After rendering the pork fat, be sure to remove most of it, leaving only 2-3 tablespoons in the pan, as more fat will render during cooking. Too much fat at the start will make the dish greasy. Don't discard the removed pork fat; store it in a jar for future stir-frying or mixing with noodles or rice.
4. Adjust the amounts of salt, sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to your taste.
5. Dark soy sauce is for coloring. If you don't have it, regular soy sauce can be used.
