The title is incorrect thoug, thi sis a complete variation of what twice cooked pork belly should be lol... it is terrible in comparison to the real deal.. THis is a travesty, please change the title.
The reason he puts the pork in before the oil is hot is to stop it from scorching. It allows the fat to render and release it's juices, otherwise you end up with burnt fat on the outside and very chewy fat on the inside.
Ah... the traditional "noh wok hei" method: adapted by the East during early British trade interaction. With a twist; without the eggs which generally accompany bacon.
I don't aggree with the crititism.... the first stage of cooking the pork is actually a very traditional way of cooking- not just in China but all accros East Asia- where ppl cook the fatty cuts of pork slowly to get the fats out and used in the next stage of cooking! ppl must understand that Gary is not a Chinese chef and stir frying is not the only method of Chinese cooking. What Gary showed is perfect for ppl at home who does not have a cooker powerful enough to do stir fries!
@CuongSam wellin summer i use a 130 000 BTU outdoor wok burner. So I got all the heat i want. But yeah i agree, its how my mother i law used to cook it too. Slow cooking releases fat, and then i double cooked. First slow cooking to seal out fat, then he woked it on high heat.
My exs family did a lot of steaming as well. Steaming, braising.
@NattHrafn oh wot would I do to hav one of those cookers... I used to work in a takeawy whre extreamly powerful cookers were used to do stir frys- something that cannot b achieved by home cookers! I do a lot of steaming too and braising :)
WHAT ? on earth was that ???? I wont pretend to be a professional myself by any means but what a complete mess ! He literally did everything wrong ! absolutley awful, everything was done backwards.
Although I don't think it's the genuine Chinese way of cooking this dish, it doesn't look bad at all! I still think Gary is a good chef. Anyway he is English and you can't expect he cooks like a Chinese! I appreciate it that he promotes our recipes. I am Chinese.
I have only seen on TV his similar show for India.
This should read "How To Make A Pig's Ear Of A Great Dish" I live in Sichuan - showed this vid to some Chinese friends, yesterday...they're still rolling on the floor laughing. Nothing is right about this...literally.
I totally agree with you, it's awful ! I'm english myself and by no means a chef but i do love my cooking and i really can tell that this is no where near the mark, what a mess !
@thailandajarn Yes, he needs to read Kenneth Lo book "Wok Cookery" ,as this is nothing like Sichuan double-cooked pork-no hoisin sauce no red soya paste? - "non-starter"!
this guy is a complete hack. he moves at a glacial pace, uses a clumsy spoon as his tool, the wok is way too cold, the sugar should have been added way earlier, etc, a real chinese chef would have cooked this dish, correctly, in about a minute's time
This reminds me why I enjoy watching Keith Floyd (Rip) so much; HE DIDN'T FANNY ON LIKE MR RHODES DOES!

This is not quite a Chinese dish, it is more likely a fusion cuisine.

well, its his own version of huiguorou-回锅肉。
but the key of Chinese stirfrying is the speed of the heating. materials would stay in the pot for a very short moment

He used Pak Choi in twice-cooked pork! Mostly hot peppers are used. But it is innovative.
