Minced Pork Rice   滷肉飯

This dish is often known as a peasant country dish. You will often find it in a bento box on the street of Taiwan, served with soy sauce eggs and stewed tofu as breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's rustic, salty and fatty, served over rice or noodles on a cold winter day or evening. It's also often served over porridge, making it a perfect comfort food all year round.
