How to Make Home-style Red Braised Pork Belly (红烧肉)
This time our guest cook Rob whipped up some Hongshaorou, a.k.a. Red braised pork belly! An awesome dish, real simple… and with no real exotic ingredients, so it’s pretty easy to make if you’re outside of China too.
If you’re a bit hesitant because of the pork skin and fat, don’t be – after cooking low and slow, the pork skin’ll turn into jelly and the fat’ll melt in your mouth like butter.
As always, a detailed recipe and ingredient list is in this /r/cooking post on reddit:

—————————————————————————————–
I’m Chris Thomas from the United States and I’ve been living as an expat in China now for upwards of nine years, most of which in Shenzhen. I love living here, and the food is absolutely incredible. I read and speak some Chinese, and have been trying to religiously recreate the most authentic versions of the food I’ve eaten and loved here.
My partner in these videos is Stephanie Li, my similarly food-and-travel-obsessed long term girlfriend. She’s a translator from Guangzhou and is an incredible home cook. Sometimes I’ll be behind the wok but usually it’ll be her cooking.

This guys voice is annoying
Now I’m curious as to what else the left over sauce could be used for?!
Great channel, lots of useful information, thank you.
Famous dish in pakistan
This is the “unofficial” national dish of China, literally every household probably knows how to make it
Just put a Hole in the cast iron pot
OMG, I made this today and used your recipe as.guide.…..delicious ❤❤❤
My mom is half chinese half dutch and she cant make this recipe.. she asked me to find some youtube vidio about how to make one, i found this vidio and thought the whole time the guy describing it is a chinese guy.. i was surprised at the end of vidio that he is caucasian.. big respect for him to know this kinda highly skilled dishes from other culture 🙏🏻 seriously this channel has blown away my mind 😱😱😱
How obsessed is the guy talking about Chinese this Chinese that. Better than Western this better than Western that.
How the CCP.?
Yeah, they have good food as does all cultures. They ALSO have the most murderous governments IN WORLD HISTORY.
BUT AT LEAST THE FRIED RICE IS 👍
Tks
I’ll cook this this weekend thank you
DISCLAIMER WARNING – i followed this recipe to a tee and used Sesame oil. When i put the boiled pork back in i think the water content in the pork mixed with oil made it explode periodically. It got over my walls and arms, be careful!
The owners at the Chinese restaurant i work at make this every year for Christmas and it is absolutely one of my favorite dishes of all time, they usually go for thinner slices of pork belly as it stretches it out enough for everyone in the kitchen and front of house to eat, however they add whole boiled eggs and they are absolute heaven
Will definitely try this out with the egg variation!
Mao style 💀
0:45 looking like you are testing the boiling water with a finger for a split second
what do you guys end up doing with the excess sauce? I really don't want to toss it but I've got no idea what to do with it
👏👍🥇🏆😎
