Dude I am so loving the longer format videos! You have such a great personality, We want to see more of it! I just bought a gigantic piece of pork belly that I cut and saved half in the freezer. Now I know exactly what to do with it! Can't wait to crush this with a gigantic bowl of white rice. I'll throw some bok choy on the side to make me feel better about all the fat. Thanks so much! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This guy knows what's he talking about!

The "impurity" in the initial boiling water contains oily excretions from pigs sebaceous glands. They are responsible for the musty odor if the first step is skipped. Chinese cooking adds cooking wine and slice of ginger to further remove musty smells.

I am 100% Chinese (TAIWANESE) and for the many non Chinese Chef and cooks who attempted a very classic traditional Chinese red braising, you were the first who did it correctly. Although, there are some variations among Chinese families cooking this dish too - Shao Xing wine ( Chinese rice wine), pan roasted thinly sliced shallots and dry black shitake mushrooms rehydrated with the water added in the braise, and white sugar is always the staple used but the brown sugar would give a more caramel flavor. This dish was also my mom's specialty from whom I learned to make . As for the Wah Ja Shan soy sauce, Wah Jah Shan also makes other condiments. You can easily find the brand in big Asian groceries and yes, Amazon too. I had been watching your video and used your rosemary salt to my steaks. It is fantastic!

You could try it yourself. if you let a sugar cube melt in your mouth compared to a piece of rock sugar, the rock sugar leaves a lot less aftertaste.

Try it with beef or lamb instead! The sauce is KILLER and fits to all "braiseable" kinds of meat. 🤤🤤🤤

I remember my first time making soy-braised short ribs (the recipe was actually pretty similar to this one), and I remember being confused at the recipe not telling me to salt the meat before searing/braising. So, I assumed they just messed up when they wrote it and salted my short ribs pretty liberally, the way I normally would any piece of fatty beef. When they were done, I felt like I was going to get sodium poisoning with every bite. My point is, if you're gonna make this, resist the urge to salt that pork belly before putting it in the liquid.

Thanks for the heads up! When I make a dish similar to this one I will give a toast to you.

You did the claws again 😂😂😂 I love the growl, watching them slowly come out and then the attack. Seriously made my week with that part

As a Chinese, this is pretty much authentic, maybe missing some additional extra spices, but this is almost as close as you can get. Now serve that over some steamy white rice, hoo boy, easy and amazing weeknight dinner.

Very nice Sonny. Our Chinese way of doing it I'm quite sure involves caramelising rock sugar to the wok before reintroducing the blanched pork, aromatics, and then seasonings and water to braise. This European style interpretation seems very nice.

@@littleblackduck3134 no, spare rib tips are literally that (smaller end of the pork rib bone meat, more tender bites). This dish is literally pork belly meat but cubed (so similar in size but not the same part of pig). However, you can braise/slow cook the ribs with this recipe just the same!

You’re not too bad. Def top three. And your passion for the art and craft of cooking is apparent and very inspiring. Keep it up

I had a go and made these today, 4 hours but i could have done cooling them more but wow, I used light reduced salt soy sauce and all went well. By the time i’d reduced the liquid by half it was more than enough flavor. Put it with rice and stir-fry pak-choi, onions and I just had to use my new mandolin for a fistful of fine sliced carrots. Subbed to Uncle Matt’s channel last week 👍🔔. He too is a great cook. He was super nice and very kindly took the time to reply to my comment. Cheers from the UK.

Man you won't believe how long I was looking for this exact recipe!! Thank u so much !

I’m so trying this Looks wonderful

1) love the non-shorts content a LOT! 2) WHAT! I never thought of using a brush and some water to get the flavor from the side of the pot back into the sauce. 100% doing that from now on

Will be definitely trying this dish. Keep them coming.

Usually would melt some rock sugar in hot oil and pan fry the pork belly for a couple minutes before start adding water and soy - helps to add a shine to the finishing pork belly

Thank you, made this today and it was so delicious.

Love this guys videos! Makes everything looks simple.

Mate I tried this method the other day and I love it. I tweaked a few things such as excluding the sugar and adding sweet chilli sauce but never the less it was epic. The braiding is much better than searing/frying the meat first.
