Recipe

- Pork belly
- Thick soy sauce
- Five-spice powder
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Make regular Lu Rou sauce. Simmer skin-on pork belly richly with soy sauce, rock sugar, and five-spice. Because cheese adds salt and fat, the key is to finish the base Lu Rou slightly sweeter and stronger in flavor.
- Serve piping hot rice in a bowl, pour Lu Rou generously with sauce.
- Heap shredded pizza cheese (mozzarella and cheddar mix is best for color) on top until the meat is hidden.
- Right before serving, scorch the cheese directly from above with a powerful blowtorch. Serve the moment the cheese bubbles, browns, and melts gooey.
