If you haven’t decided what to make for dinner tonight, try this Chinese Red Braised Pork Belly made in a rice cooker. The prep takes only 5 minutes—it’s truly effortless and foolproof—and you’ll end up with tender, flavorful pork belly coated in a glossy, rich sauce. The flavor is absolutely irresistible, and it’s so easy that you have no excuse not to make it. If you have a rice cooker, don’t let it go to waste. And if you don’t, a regular pot, a slow cooker, or an Instant Pot will work just as well.

Teacher Mandy! Please teach me how to make West Lake Soup and Beef Chow Fun! I love your recipe and your teaching! 🙏🙏🙏
I would like to try foods like pork belly, because I know it’s popular in some countries, but I’m afraid. I never liked the texture of fat on steak for example. I’m wondering how in the world people eat it. So, I’m guessing, if it’s cooked right it has a different texture then let’s say the texture of fat on sirloin steak?
Where can I buy this rice cooker you got???? ❤
Thanks
Hi frands very tasty yummy recipe my first like this recipe ❤❤
”For example, my rice cooker is pretty stupid”. Hilarious!
I wish I could make this, my excuse is that I live in a tiny town with no butcher and an absolutely atrocious meat selection in supermarkets.
Definitely worth a shot. I just don’t understand why the rice cooker comes in. A simple pot on an induction stove would be much easier.
Great cooker 👍😊😊😊😊 very delicious food 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑❤❤❤❤❤
I Like this is cooking ❤
The big problem in the us is the fact that these days it is very difficult to find pork belly meat with the skin on as processing companies have figured out that they can make the skin into yet another saleable item.
Absolutely LOVE these dishes. My biggest problem is where I live, Oyster sauce, Chinese Cooking Wine and other ingredients you list are not available 🤨. But I'll certainly give this one (Pork belly is the BOMB!) a go.
Thanks Mandy 👍

Hi Mandy, do you recommend any rice cookers?
Thankyou , I'm confident after watching your instruction, guiding. ❤
Thanks for the video
You are a wonderful instructor. I learned so much from you. ❤
I had to return the 10 inch wok because no matter what I did, everything stuck to it. I did exactly what the instructions said to do but it still stuck…even vegetables.
No Star Anise?!
Mandy can you please include the cooking times for slow cookers and Instapot?
wow this is amazing😳
Hi everyone-nnnnnnnn!
I used to make the sauce from scratch until I found out that it tastes exactly the same as Japanese barbecue sauce
Hi Mandy!!! This recipe looks mighty delicious. I sure would like to eat this..Interesting cooking in a Rice-Cooker….YUMS!!!…Great Video!!!…🦋
I plan to make this soon but I only have an instant pot now! Im assuming the cook time will be reduced DRASTICALLY! And also, since the instant pot holds on moisture, it would have to be cook until the pork belly is tender and then cook the sauce without the lid….possibly taking the mat out so it doesn't turn into mush! Am I correct in my assumption!?
The rice toppings of my dreams.
I can't wait to try this. This was a favorite staple of my childhood, but it always took the better part of an afternoon to make.
I have a slow cooker, will it work also? What would be the length of time to cook it? I purchased your cookbook, can't wait to try it.
Definitely trying this recipe! Thank you Mandy!
You lost me with "skin on"
