Introduction
An easy and authentic Lu Rou Fan made with pork loin that can be prepared in about 15 minutes without long simmering. By thoroughly browning the garlic and onions, we replicate a deep, savory richness and aroma without the need for hours of cooking or store-bought fried onions.
Step 1
Peel and mince the garlic, and dice the onion into bite-sized, rough pieces.
Step 2

Step 3
While the onions are frying, cut the pork loin into small, 1cm square cubes.
Step 4
Once the onions and garlic are fragrant and browned, add the pork, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and stir-fry lightly.
Step 5
Once the surface of the meat is browned, add 120ml of water, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and 8 shakes of Ajinomoto.

Important Notes
💡 Thoroughly browning the onions and garlic creates an authentic richness and aroma without needing hours of simmering or store-bought fried onions.
🍳 Using pork loin instead of pork belly prevents the dish from becoming too greasy while ensuring a tender meat texture even with short cooking times.
⚠️ Five-spice powder has a distinct aroma; if you dislike it, you can omit it or add it individually to taste after serving.
