Lu Rou Fan: A Simple Yet Soulful Taste of Taiwan 滷肉飯：一碗簡單卻充滿故事的台灣味道

Have You Tried Braised Pork Rice?
A simple bowl of steamed white rice, topped with a spoonful of rich, savoury braised pork sauce, paired with minced or diced pork simmered to perfection—every bite delivers a deep sense of satisfaction. This is Braised Pork Rice.

This dish is a product of resourcefulness from Taiwan's agricultural past, where every ingredient was used to its fullest potential. Pork belly, diced pork skin, and flavourful seasonings are slowly simmered to create a dish bursting with flavor. It’s a meal that transcends social classes—you’ll find it in humble street food stalls and high-end restaurants alike.

For me, Braised Pork Rice carries a deep sense of nostalgia. As a child, I always felt plain white rice lacked something, but adding just a little extra to upgrade it to Braised Pork Rice made all the difference. When that steaming bowl of rice was served, with the sauce slowly seeping into the fluffy white grains, the sweet and salty aroma was pure magic—an indescribable satisfaction.

When I moved to Ottawa, Braised Pork Rice became one of the flavours I missed most. During the long, cold winters, I often find myself slow-cooking a pot of braised pork. The aroma transports me back to the bustling night markets and the smoky street food stalls of home—a vivid and heartwarming memory.

At Gubahmi, we want to share this humble yet soulful dish with everyone. Using premium minced pork, soy sauce, rock sugar, rice wine, and other classic seasonings, we slow-cook our braised pork for hours, ensuring that every grain of rice is drenched in the delicious sauce. Paired with freshly cooked rice, each bite is a condensed taste of Taiwan’s culinary heritage.

To make this dish more accessible, we’ve packaged our Braised Pork Rice sauce in convenient frozen packs. Simply reheat it in hot water, pour it over your rice, and enjoy a quick yet satisfying meal. You can also upgrade a plate of blanched vegetables for an even heartier dish. (Note: Do NOT microwave—the diced pork might explode!)

This convenient design preserves the dish's authenticity, allowing you to enjoy the comforting taste of home anytime, anywhere.

Do you prefer mixing the sauce thoroughly into your rice to ensure every grain is coated, or do you sauour each bite individually, enjoying the contrasting flavours of plain rice and braised pork?

你吃過滷肉飯嗎？

簡單的白飯，淋上一勺濃郁香醇的滷肉醬汁，搭配熬煮得入味的絞肉或切丁的豬肉，讓每一口都能感受到濃濃的幸福感。沒錯就是滷肉飯。滷肉飯是早期農業年代的智慧結晶，將手邊的食材發揮到極致，放入切丁的豬皮、五花肉等食材，創造出豐富的風味。同時，它也成為了一道跨越階層的料理，從街頭小吃攤到高級餐廳，都可以見到滷肉飯的身影。

對我來說，滷肉飯是一碗藏著回憶的料理。我記得小時候，外食時總覺得單點白飯少了點味道，但多花五塊錢升級成滷肉飯，卻能讓整碗飯大加分。當熱騰騰的滷肉飯端上桌，醬汁順著白飯緩緩流下，鹹甜交錯的香氣撲鼻而來，那是一種難以言喻的滿足感。

當我來到渥太華時，滷肉飯成為了我在異鄉最想念的味道之一。漫長而寒冷的冬天總督促著我燉煮一鍋滷肉，讓它帶我回憶那夜市的燈火斑斕、那巷口攤販的香氣瀰漫，那熟悉的味道將帶我回到故鄉街頭。 

在 gubahmi，我們希望將這道平凡卻充滿情感的料理帶給每一位食客。我們選用優質的五花肉，切丁之後搭配醬油、冰糖、米酒等經典調味料，經過數小時的慢火燉煮，將肉香與醬汁完美融合，讓每一口飯都能裹滿濃郁的滷汁。搭配剛煮好的白飯，粒粒分明，每一口都是濃縮的台灣記憶。這碗滷肉飯，既是日常的滿足，也是遠方遊子的慰藉。它不只是食物，更是一段故事，一份情感的傳遞。滷肉飯雖然樸實無華，但它擁有穿透文化隔閡的力量。無論你來自哪個國家，第一次品嘗時，那份濃郁的香氣和咸中帶甜的風味，總能讓人愛上它。

為了讓更多人方便品嘗到這道美味，我們將滷肉飯分裝成小包裝冷凍保存，僅需隔水加熱，就能快速將白飯升級成肉飯，也能輕鬆將燙過的青菜升級為更豐盛的一餐。（注意：不可微波爐加熱！豬肉丁會爆炸！）這樣的設計不僅方便保存，更保留了滷肉飯最純正的風味，讓你隨時隨地都能享受到家的味道。

你有吃過滷肉飯嗎？你是選擇將醬汁均勻地拌入白飯中，讓每一粒米飯都沾滿濃郁的滷汁？還是喜歡一口白飯、一口滷肉，細細品味每個層次的風味呢？
