A simplified lu rou fan (Taiwanese braised pork rice) bento that uses thinly sliced pork belly to cut down the simmering time. Plenty of onion, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder give it an authentic flavor. A boiled egg is simmered along with the pork, and it tastes great even after cooling, so it is designed to be made in the morning and eaten at lunch.
