Taiwanese people were poor as fuck for a long time and a lot of their recipes are ways to get something for nothing. Here, rice and a bit of meat. Pic related is meat rice, which by default is pork and by default default is belly, but it works with literally anything, ground beef (fatty is best), chicken thighs, etc.

Basically the idea is to cook the meat, rendering the fat, then aromatics, then creating a sauce, then simmering it all a while to get a kind of meat chili thing going on.

So,

1. Brown meat, remove, leave fat
2. Saute 1/3 by volume of meat finely diced aromatics like onion and garlic
3. Add soy sauce, alcohol/wine, vinegar, pinch sugar or honey, pinch chili, ginger/galangal if you have it, and then a few tbs water to get something nice simmering. You know a good sauce when you see one. You want it not too tight, not too loose, keep an eye on the water ccontent.
4. Add the meat back, let it simmer until you like it, maybe 20 min. Add pepper, salt, herbs, whatever.
5. Dump it on top of a bowl of rice. Eat.
