I’ve been watching Korean shows on Netflix and love it. Because they show a lot of foods, love it, I learned about pork belly which I never had. It looks so good I am cooking it now. Thank you for this recipe. How long is the boiling of PB the first time? I just did 5 minutes and now 1 hour for the second time

Pretty similar to how I make mine -- looks delish!
Your pot: carbon steel? Who makes it? It's a perfect size for home use.

I definitely like the way you cooked it it was really good but you're right I am not a fan of licorice taste especially not black licorice and when I was a kid there was a little boy who used to eat Licorice and he would show his teeth and they would be all black and I tried some and it just made me sick so I I really don't know can I leave that out please let me know that's an optional choice everything else with the pretty darn good
@cynthiacasey6631can i add Sichuan pepper?
@mattgroening9300Cooked this today - awesome!
@patrickbrummel2818For how long do I boil the already cut 2 pounds of pork belly? How many grams of brown sugar whilst braising the pork belly?
@laladuiI think this is the single best thing I've ever made. You took me to heaven and back for sure
@Meg-N-MogI tried making pork belly for the first time following your recipe fully. And it was fantastic! The only thing I will do differently next time is cut the pork slightly larger than 1 inch. I like bigger chunks, just my preference. Your video is the best I have found on the step by step guidance. Thank you!

@canisfamiliaris4013:38 You put some star anise but you are talking of licorice ? Do you also put licorice because they are two totally different things .

@gerdsfargen6687Im about to make this for the 2nd time. Thank you so much 🥰🫶🙏
@joanneg666Looks delicious, but you lost me at brasiing it for an hour
@guygardner8308Add a couple cinnamon sticks and it really turns this out. Soooooo good.
@StevefromCincinnatiAfter I Ate that, I would eat that Spoon😮
@andrewbratos6907Does the star anise make it taste like liquorice? I want to make this for my kids and they do not like liquorice whatsoever.
@moniquejacobsen2683One tip if substituting brown sugar for the rock sugar: the brown sugar (often/usually?) contains molasses. If so, adjust your heat down (IIRC) as the molasses can scorch/burn rather quickly.
N.B. It's been years since I've used molasses in this way, so fact-check me on this.
I like your delivery very gentle... and your instructions... are very clear thank you so much 💞🎉
@HashameenPoliahMy dinner tonight!
@fernandajacobi2793Is your pork with rindless? Thanks,
