In ancient times, most people in Taiwan Province Island lived by farming, and it was hard to eat meat once a year. At that time, a large family would slaughter a pig for a holiday and then cut a small piece of pork for their neighbors, but there was too little pork for everyone to eat, so people cut the pork into small pieces, marinated it and mixed it with rice for the whole family, so braised pork rice was born.

How did Taiwan Province braised pork rice come from?

In ancient times, Taiwan Province Island was called Penglai Fairy Island. After the pioneers came to Taiwan Province Island, most people made a living by farming fields and producing crops, and their lives were poor and simple. Generally, they didn't have a bite of meat until the Chinese New Year holiday. Although every household raised poultry, chickens, ducks and pigs in captivity were raised and sold, and they were reluctant to slaughter them. Only a large family slaughtered a pig for worship during the Chinese New Year holiday and cut up a small piece of pork for distribution. Because of the large number of people, everyone can only get a small piece of pork, which can't be shared equally with a family. In order to try to make every child have a bite of pork, people cut this piece of pork into small pieces and put it in a pot to rot, and then put it in a rice cooker to bibimbap before giving it to the whole family, so that the whole family can eat meat, so the origin of braised pork rice.
