I am going to make this tomorrow. Is 4 tbs of soy sauce enough for all that much pork and eggs?
Omg this was Really good. Thank you!
This video made me subscribe! 😂😂😂
Hey Marc! Great recipe as always. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I'm convinced that there's no other channel that can offer authentic Japanese cooking recipes with such a high quality video as yours. Thanks for that!
I do have a question. I can't seem to find a good video on how to make homemade Abuurage (especially the ones used in Inarizushi and Kitsune Udon). I can't seem to get the same texture and puffiness along with the hollowness you get from store bought versions. I've done a lot of research and apparently before frying the tofu is around 1 cm in thickness. I've done this, yet hasn't been able to achieve the same results. My tofu came out quite dense on the inside.
If you can make a video about this, that would be lovely. But that's probably asking for too much on my part. Is there any tips you can give me as to how I can achieve this result? I really want to be able to make an authentic Abuurage since I have no access to store-bought versions on where I live. I'd love to replicate the texture and taste of the ones used in Inarizushi and Kitsune Udon.
Thank you so much in advance Marc! Hope you'll see this comment and reply soon.
Looks Delicious! This made me finally look up what the difference was between Bacon and Pork Belly. I get it now tho.
Your videos are so beautifully edited!!
Please continue creating, these recipes are phenomenal
Absolutely delicious !
And i LOVE your tye dye shirt..if you dont mind, would you please tell me where you purchased it? I love that shirt, Mark❤❤❤
Going along with sesame oil (toasted or otherwise) used, how we might it go with cardamom (green, black, or other) if infused with or sprinkled with a small amount of it beyond a dipping sauce? Looks almost like a tie dye set of spots in the next day shirt you got
Looks delicious, will be making this. Thank you🙏🦋
I have never been a fan of pork belly, but I have to admit that this dish makes me want to try it one more time. The glaze sounds absolutely fabulous, and maybe the fatty meat, eggs, green veggie, and rice will all work together and make something delicious. I’m going to give it a try, as you’ve never steered me wrong in the past. I’m a much better cook and a more adventurous eater since I’ve started following you years ago. I’ll let you know how it goes, thanks again!
Hi Mark. This looks amazing! I am definitely going to try this. Can I do the braising part it in the oven?
😂 I don’t know who is a happier YouTube chef, Mark? Or chef Jean Pierre? … 😊
Must be the most photogenic bok choy in existence
can you do this for chicken as well? i have both chicken and pork and i didn't know what i wanted to do with them until i saw this.
Looks Amazing! Definitely going to parboil the pork belly next time I cook with it.
I was sad to miss the premiere but glad to watch this now.
Thanks Marc. Take care. 🌺
Odd question, would you be able to freeze this for future use if you make a larger batch?
Wagarashi(Japanese yellow mustard) is my favorite dip sauce for kakuni.
10 stars!!!!
I just had the Taiwanese version of this last week with H! Damn, yours looks so much better.
Ooooh this looks AMAZING❤
Recipe, video instruction quality and the way you present are so top shelf – look forward to doing this. Thanks!
Mouthwatering 🤤
I've made kakuni before, but the cooking process is so very long.
There must be some way to speed up the cooking time, like cutting up a turkey into pieces instead of cooking it whole.
As usual, absolutely delicious lookin food Marc. I wish I was your neighbor, I'd be over all the time, plus I think Japan would be a great place to be. Keep up the great work, my friend.
I definitely look forward to cooking this, it looks so good! I enjoy cooking things like this for my family, and your recipes are always a big hit! Thanks for sharing your recipes, and making great content on here!
I don't even know how to make a perfect ramen egg.
