Taiwanese Minced Pork Rice - Part I 台式肉燥飯


Ingredients
350g minced pork, marinated with soy sauce and corn flour
15g fried shallots
15g fried garlic
1 tbsp five spice powder
Dash of ground pepper
2 tsp sugar
5 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine
2 hardboiled eggs
Cooking oil


Heat oil and fry shallots in medium low heat till golden brown and crisp. Drain and set aside. Fry minced garlic the same way. Drain and set aside. It's hard to find shallots here so I have bought the pre-fried shallots and garlic from Taiwan. These are two important base ingredients that accentuate the flavour of the pork.


If you are frying the shallots and garlic, use the same pot and remaining oil to stir fry the minced pork till slightly cooked. Add soy sauce, sugar, five spice powder, rice wine, pepper and just enough water to cover the pork by about 1cm. Pour in crisp shallots and garlic, give a few stirs to mix all ingredients well. Add the hard-boiled eggs. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.

Pour over rice and serve.
