Lu Rou Fan

Lu Rou Fan (serves 2)

I actually saw this from ieatishootispot, but it used a pressure cooker which I was unwilling to invest in (mainly due to space constraints). So I decided to modify it for a slow cooker instead.

Ingredients:

350g pork belly, sliced into strips

200g radish, sliced into small cubes

80ml cooking wine

50ml thick dark soy sauce

20ml light soy sauce

0.5 tbsp rock sugar

70g of shallot sauce, or 0.3 cup of fried shallots

2.5 tsps cornflour

2 bowls of cooked rice

Spring onion

Instructions:

1) Heat up some oil in a skillet, then add the pork belly. 

2) Saute it for a few minutes until it starts to brown, then add the cooking wine. 

3) Saute it again for a while, then add 70ml water in together with the dark soy sauce, rock sugar, light soy sauce, shallots and radish.

4) Mix it well, then add to a slow cooker. Turn it on low for 6 to 8 hours.

5) Remove some of the excess oil, then add the cornflour in bit by bit while stirring. Turn the slow cooker on high for just a few more minutes.

6) Pour it on your rice, garnish with spring onion, and serve.
