[civicsi559]

Looks delicious!

[Be3p123]

I wonder what the most delicious thing hes ever eaten is..

[Kargos79]

That looks so good.. I need a smoke!!

[momothebored]

this is basically what chinese grandmas have been cooking for centuries. :\

[TalynG]

Pork belly at the Chinese market is WAYYY cheaper than the Japanese market. :P

[eneth26]

looks yummy!!! How can I cook this without using the oven?

[CaptainSmeg]

I made this as per the recipe for a dinner party and it turned out beautiful. Definitely a permanent fixture in my repertoire.

[juliusreea]

its 2:30 am and im calling ambulance, bit of 3 of my left hand fingers omg omg omg

[MissStephieTing]

it kind of looks like the filipino pork adobo..heh

[bluetigressemoon]

Looks yummy

[carlodimaandal]

parang humba!

[EverydayNormalDude]

after that say Hello to your electric bill

[MRdrummerkid12541]

Melted when I saw the title

[SwTanaPanda]

lol FREAKISHLY small wooden spoon lol

[nicoray15]

Everyone here's. A Dick! !!!!!!!!!

[julzdj]

Cooked as per receipt, god did it burn the pork, waste of a nice cut of pork belly if you ask me! Would cut down the cooking times to say 2 and a half hour on a lower temp. Shame as I was really looking forward to this!

[MyNuttybar]

@julzdj 200 degrees Fahrenheit is about 93 degrees Celsius

[daigoji83]

Pork belly = killing me softly

[derlicious25]

would this receipt work with pork lion chops?......this receipts sounds amazing

[Redtrooper]

Could I substitute sambal for that red chili?

[tommyleezz]

this is a wrong way to cook caramelized pork belly ! totally wrong !

[amandanger9888]

@tommyleezz show us the right way then

[GothyPingu]

Caramel and pork belly my two favourite things i will definitely make this btw the chicken parmesan bake is soo good i would comment there but i can't

[jimmychauv]

There was a weight loss ad before this pork belly recipe. lol.

[TheStrokesChick]

Making this, starting tonight....and the nom nom begins tomorrow. Dun dun DUUUN!

[dannymrowr]

reminds me of something my mom makes at home =]

[brittanyleeful]

I get to eat pork belly all the time and I love it. In Taiwan it's sometimes served over rice with dried and shredded fish. The pork belly, gravy, and fish are the perfect combo. Yum.

[SierraHawkProduction]

this dish is similar to the chinese red-cooked pork belly

[CharlieEcho77]

freakishly small ...

[kellyandkaylen]

my brother eats chicken soup sometimes or always

[xxxdids]

Had it and was the best,and so easy,even without the freakish small spoon lol.

[hellokatiepie]

@xxxdids It looks like a spoon for honey to me!

[BONEKILL666]

I made this today and it was absolutely amazing. Best pork ive had in a long time! Thanks John!

[BONEKILL666]

[yoghmoob]

[FlipSnipeZ]

uhh for some reason i taste pizza hut crust.. i havent had that in years.. thanks CHEF .

[RiseofBane]

this would go perfect with hard liquors. I'm thinking of Scotch whisky. love porks!

[AirrowRocket]

WO!

[ixmellowxboixi]

could you just use regular sugar or does it have to be brown sugar?

[pasta007y]

@ixmellowxboixi

It should be brown as it gives it the caramel flavour

[anonymouskittie]

I love the freakishly small spoon part haha

Thanks You're Awesome I subscribe now :)

[damonqfs]

@anonymouskittie When I heard 'use a freakishly small wooden spoon." I actually laughed out-loud.  This Chef John is the best....

[dtuibeo]

Do you have a facebook account Chef John? Because i like you to be my friend!

[MrJingjong]

This is a great dish, chef. Glad I started my pork belly research here.

[thecolorrachel]

[HeIIoHater]

[FuriousPumpkin]

[ririhugs]

It looks gorgeous but it's really long to cook :s

[styles0]

made this the other day, it's a taste of heaven :)

[acmulhern]

you soaked up the pig-fat with kitchen towel!!! i almost had a heart attack. what a waste. you should have at least soaked it up with a piece of bread, although that does sound a little decadent :P

[harryvonlipwig]

i didnt know seth rogen was a chef proper renaissance man

[elvischanghsiuming]

looks good. but seems too much energy exhausted

[hawtinhawaii]

I'm so gonna make this! LOL @ the little wooden spoon. Looks like one of them asian ear cleaning tools. Sorry..I had to. =)

[debtconsolidationser]

I am delighted I!

[perfectdonk]

This is soooooooooooooooooooo bad for you...and even more tasty than bad hmm!

[tahoe350]

@perfectdonk

If it puts a smile on your face.. who cares if it's bad for you sometimes! =)

[wakemusicalarm]

@tahoe350 I have a lot of friends who are super super fit, and I've got a bit of a belly. But I've gotta say, I smile and laugh a helluva lot more then them, and I'm the only one who likes to cook and I don't mind making some decadent dishes here and there.

[ophiel84]

I just finished making this but I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce a little. Just took a bite and OMG... it is sinfully delicious.

[tomastomas11]

4:14 THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[tubedudelive]

A western rendition of Dongpo Pork (東坡肉), served on top of vegetable rice (菜飯). Distinctively Chinese, yet modern. Nice!

[speedyjim88]

i love PORK!!!

[watermummy]

looks amazing,..

[SROMasterful]

'A Freakishly small ...wooden spoon!' haha you don't realise until he says it!

[CaterwaulinHeat]

WANT!!!

[HollyTheFireNinja]

+1

Best dish ever.

[chefkoo]

omg no skin? that's a disgrace.

[CAROLYNSCOCIOZ]

Cant wait to try this and its so simple thanks

[rae1968]

I had this for dinner last night with kimchi and white rice. I have to say it tasted fantastic! My son had two helpings!

[poobert]

I... I am dying to try it. I am so hungry right now and after seeing this, nothing can compare.

[en3rgieboy]

omg looks good

[powerplantop]

Wow that looks good.

[asliceofcherrypie]

That looks so delicious. I love cooking pork belly.

[Sgofyyahanime]

yummy

[goldhoarder]

I never liked pork, but I think this might be enough to convert me. One thing - I'm allergic to fish, can I use soy instead of fish sauce?

[Itsnameisgundam]

amazing!!! omgsshhh! I'm so drooling right now!

[goldhoarder]

Don't shove your imaginary friend down my throat, you right-wing redneck.

All people deserve equality.

[Sgofyyahanime]

Homophobic bastard >.>

Spam somewhere ELSE

[MissExecutive]

i drool everytime i hear your voice.

a good example of conditioned response.

and omg that looked so good!

[laumarshmallow]

Looks delicious.

[demerc]

PROPS!!!! You are the man! I am very critical when it comes to a lot of things, especially instructional cooking. You are very intelligent, self aware, highly informed, and you do it all in a very nonchalant , unintimidating, humble way. AND, you still manage to have style. You are very impressive! All the best !!!! AWESOME recipe by the way, reminiscent of the Vietnamese style combining Fish sauce and sugar!

[sinnedlab]

guys his way of cooking was just too long it can be done by half an hour.

[daiser720]

Would the pork still caramelize in the pan if I didn't go through the 5 1/2 hr roast?

[recoil53]

Yes, that was for cooking the pork belly tender.

If you were to use raw pork pork belly and cook it with direct heat, you will lose a considerable amount of fat and it won't be as tender. This will still take some time.

By slow cooking, not only do you have a tender meat, but the step with the pan can use higher heat - you are only concerned about browning the meat before adding the brown sugar sauce.

[daiser720]

Your reasons are good enough for me to slow cook it first. Thanks!

[larlar752000]

I like a chef who makes jokes while cooking :D thats a good chef!

[masonmonster]

I HATE YOU!!! i want that T-T

[oiyabastard]

no shit , its a heart killer , so much time to make , i wud make 5 pounds of it eat it all then feel my heart gurgling fat thru it

[oiyabastard]

p.s look up his santa maria tri tip yummmm

[elaterin]

its chinese style, chef.

[cassey05]

looks good!!

[CrazySasuke0]

Could i use Beef stock as the water?

[vi0letch40s]

Question: Can this be made with some sort of (less spicy) substitute for the chili peppers in this recipe, or are they absolutely essential? I'd like to make this for my mother sometime, you see, and she (literally) can't eat spicy food. Help and info appreciated!

[angeluscorpius]

Just leave out the chilli. I leave stuff out of recipes all the time to suit the tastes of whoever's eating my cooking (or simply for convenience). I've used the recipe from this site/channel for Mac & cheese leaving out the mustard and the nutmeg cos a) my friend doesn't like mustard, and b) I didn't have any nutmeg on hand that day. When I did get some nutmeg for the next time, I didn't like it, so I won't be adding it anymore.

[SassyGIJane]

Thanks for sharing! I love this idea and am gonna make it....

[SassyGIJane]

That makes me so hungry! Yummy!!

[geezermeezer]

i didnt know that the swine flu was yummy, haha xP

[evergray]

Yummier than ignorance, that's for sure!

[cassey05]

you wont have swine flu by eating pork noob..

[Jess2ca]

What a very cute spoon.

[Zanie4Ev]

ive been trying to find a chef on youtube that could teach me how to make dishes thats diferent but good n ur the best one ive found so far (i think ever)

[Juniorwazhomeless]

best chef on youtube =D

[kaikahitonari]

hmmmnnn yummm...

[masonmonster]

i think rymez is right you can get paid more and be on tv!! id get you see your face!

[rhymezwitorange]

you would be great for foodnetwork.

[oliverkhoo]

droolllling

[G1gamen]

you have made my mouth water

[frankrizzo442]

I love your videos! Even though I can't really cook. But I just love watching you cook & your dialogue is entertaining!

[newguy90]

You should try. My first attempt at cooking was with some god awful cooking show on Food Network. The host sped through dishes and never explained anything thoroughly.  Scared me from cooking anything that wasn't already premade for a long while. Then I started watching Chef John's channel and eventually worked up enough nerve to attempt his ginger basil salmon dish. It came out delicious and I was surprised at the ease. This guy is a great teacher. He even covers the stupid questions.

[jonttu687]

woah, not bad at all :)

[princehitsuka]

"freakishly small wooden spoon" ... hahahaha

Thanks so much for this~! It looks so good~! I tried out the cauliflower Alfredo recipe which was heavenly~!

[joisfantastic]

I think this would be good with oxtail too

[Wivanunu]

"...freakishly-small wooden spoon."

hahahaha!

What was that movie where that gross guy had a freakishly-small hand and arm and was mixing the food with his gross hand and everyone wanted to throw up!

Reminds me of that :)

[Azicpok1]

scary movie 2 <3

[Fierybutterflywings]

LOL... wasn't that one of the "Scary Movies" sequels? That was hilarious... and gross at the same time lol.

[VSinta]

Oh man, i DREAMED with this last night!! I am SO going to try this. I have to say though, that this is the SEXIEST video i have EVER seen....waaaaaaay sexier than the failed dough porn!! lol...

[CanOfSpam]

OH MY GOD. This has to be the most tempting dish I have ever seen. I seriously attempted to lick my computer screen to get at that delicious goodness!

Totally favored this...gonna have to try to make this!

[Moroz171]

Nice video. it looks so delicious. you are awesome!

[josephnguyen19]

how about making a pizza

[mafeverg23]

mmmmm yummy.this is another version of "pork adobo".

[KewpieGirl]

oh lord, looks so good! I think Im going to cheat myself and have a bite but Im on belly diet here!

*waving hello to tiny spoon*

[dragonbone5000]

YUMMY YUMMY!! Thanks so much.

This looks like it would come out a lot like the taste and texture of Nagasaki braised pork, or maybe it's like Okinawa style braised pork... Anyway I've been looking for a recipe like this for ages! I'm trying it this weekend!

[6Anonymous6]

which store in J-Town did you get it at?

[imsoHOTasICE]

Looks fattening. I'm trying to watch my figure. I'm perfect.

[kaikahitonari]

yeah, the word 'pork belly' just scream great diet food hm?

[imsoHOTasICE]

i eat blts all day long bby ok. pork is a good diet food, way low carbs.

[summerrain1234]

Hi Chef John, why do you have to roast the pork belly? Rather, wouldn't it be simple and time saving to just slice the pork belly in smaller cubes and cook them in the pot with the sauce?

[LikeABreath]

The slow roasting makes the meat tender so that it'll melt in your mouth.

[Seedcovers]

Yum

[hwdegen]

THE TINY LITTLE SPOON !!!!!!!! yeeeeeee :D

[spells14]

wont you get a mouthful of fat? i think all that fat on the pork belly may be a little much. but it still looks amazing.

[iHaveOneArm]

Jon could we use bacon that has been sliced?

[yyadamyy]

It won't be nearly as good as this.

[iHaveOneArm]

b-but he said it's the same kinda Y^Y

[yyadamyy]

Because what he is using is a better quality than the average sliced bacon, but most importantly you cant slow roast the slices for 5 hours. You wont get the same flavor or texture from the sliced stuff.

[foodwishes]

well said

[yyadamyy]

Thanks. You are one of my food heros.

[geezermeezer]

lame-o =P

[theboba818]

you're so funny

[geezermeezer]

thanks. i know ay? =D

i think my comment was deleted or spammed, LOL xD haha

it was a joke Chef John, sheesh!!!

[ForTheFun81]

damn, i hate and love watching your videos, why i hate them you might ask? well its because where im living at now, everything i eat is take aways, and seeing good home food just makes my mouth water

[tomastomas11]

lmfao

[waitingforbrain]

not laughing.....

[MixtressTV]

I wonder if you could substitute chicken I don't eat pork but I sooooooo wanna try this recipe it looks delicious

[lily0ness]

[xAnthonyLeong]

i know eh i thought it was like caramel on pork

but that looks good still

[x3islove]

okay, i want this in a sandwich now

[medproductions]

You dont get it from pigs idiot.

[geezermeezer]

well if your referring to swine flu then yea, you do get it from pigs, thats where it all starts from.

[strasaphere]

Theoretically, Roasting the port would kill of the flu before you consume it.

[geezermeezer]

unless its not fully cooked =D haha

[medproductions]

You cant get it from eating pork of any kind.

[geezermeezer]

well, i watched it on the TV and they say it comes from pigs, so whats your backup story?

[medproductions]

Taken from the Centers for disease control and prevention website.

Can I get infected with this new H1N1 virus from eating or preparing pork?

No. H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get this new HIN1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.

So yeah that's my proof, how old are you 13?

[geezermeezer]

yea, i'll accept 13, it'll make me feel young again, haha xD

[RebelxProductions]

It has been renamed by WHO from the deceiving name of "swine" flu to "H1N1" virus. Only a partial amount of influenza that started from pigs that gave it the original "swine" name. There are parts of human and avian flu within the H1N1 strain.

[geezermeezer]

perhaps, but according to my sources, the pig starts off as being sick and then the human gives their flu to them pigs, then the chickens gives their flu to the pig.

So in the end, the pig has all 3 flus, and thats where it starts spreading back to people.

[Rique1227]

looks terrible!

[ConnorFlockSpeevage]

You look terrible.

[mae8318]

is there a particular reason to cook the pork slowly?
