My ex has fundamentally changed my cuisines. I think Taiwanese food will now always be a staple in my diet 😋

Tonight's dish: *Lu Ròu Fàn 卤肉饭 (Braised pork over rice)

It may not look good right now, but OMG this is melt in your mouth tasty! The umami is what I've been missing my whole life! (and being a girl. So.. probably 50/50!). And this málà ingredient is this numbing spice (from peppercorns) that just really kicks it up a notch! Its. An. Experience.

It took me being with my husband 7 yeara to find this dish. Because I couldnt exolain what it was I ate that one time. It wasn't until mom made it this last year (actually 1 year ago this week... Wild) that I discoveree what it was.

(just realized she's not my mom anymore. That's... Kind of weird. To take years to get used to calling her mom (naturally) only to then... Not. XD)
