Minced pork soy sauce gravy 

 

• 200g minced pork
• 500ml soy sauce (I used 2 types, a local brand and a Japanese brand) 
• 150g sugar 

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a pot, stir to break up the minced pork, no clumps of meat should form. 
2. Once the sauce boils, it’s done. This sauce is very salty and can be kept in the fridge for a long time and used for the next dish or others as a base sauce/ stock/ seasoning for different dishes. Please dilute or adjust taste when using.

Minced pork rice with onsen egg

• 1 small bowl steamed rice 

Directions 

1. On rice, put all ingredients on top
2. Stir everything together and it will look like Taiwanese braised meat rice （卤肉饭). If you prefer more meat, you may use 2 tbsp gravy as a base, add some stock and cook more meat in it.
