Taiwanese Lu Rou Rice [台湾鲁肉饭]

Taiwanese Lu Rou Rice is one of the popular food in Taiwan. I missed this rice bowl I had in Taiwan railway station during my trip in Nov 2013. The sweet and savory taste that make every mouthful of rice full of flavor.  I am trying to replica it and hope you love this dish too. Simple rice bowl for a long day at work and school. Do you love it too?

4. Add in the rock sugar and star anise, follow by the dark & light soy sauce and mix well.
5. Add in the fried shallot and stir fry well.
6. Add in the hot water and mix well. I transfer the whole dish into a smaller pot so that everything will submerge in the sauce.
7. Add in the hard boiled eggs and cover the lid to let it simmer for 20 mins under low fire. Stir the dish every 5 mins in order to let it cook well. The dish is done! Serve it with some boiled greens to make a balance meal.
