What're you complaining about? No one's forcing you to buy it. Make it yourself or not, buying it supports his channel so he can keep making videos. I thought you knew this already.
@@Jasmine-pv8cw I'm Chinese and this statement is just wrong, damn you need to go back to school. Ever heard of the cradle of life? First humans were in africa dumbass
every weekend i have custody of my son (cooper who's 9) we always catch up on "guga foods" and "sous vide everything" together! we're setting aside some money to try wagyu!
I truly appreciate how he explains WHY he does every step. Some chefs just say "do this, then this, than that" without saying why. Some steps are super necessary, others are just for decoration or whatever. When Guga explains why he does it you realize if they are mandatory or not. And the fact that he doesn't just do 1 method, but compares 4 methods makes you really trust why some of them are the best.
Braddah that was so perfect for me cause I'm 54 yes old from Hawaii and I've been eating this all my life. But for the last couple months I've been watching all kind videos trying to learn to do the whole pig lecheon style and the belly for Chinese style roast pork. You specifically made it easy with your video. The three styles I will copy and make but the dehydration style I dont think people will go for that here. God bless you both and thank you once again for the video 🤙
The chemistry between Angel and Guga makes these videos really good. I feel like you could change anything else about these videos except these two figuring out how to describe crunchiness. Never stop being unscripted, never worry about polish, this is great, feels authentic
Nice test. Just a couple of comments on the chinese style that you probably know. The seasoning for the meat usually has 5 spice powder and chinese cooking wine. The vinegar is applied with a brush not submerged in it to avoid its strong flavor and the need to wash it. In an electric oven it takes 45 minutes in bake at 400oF, remove the salt crust and 10 - 15 more in broil to get the crunchiness. Best regards.
A little tip for those wanting to attempt the chinese style. It actually doesn't require so long and complicated. First pat dry the skin and start poking holes like he said, then give the outer skin a light wash of vinegar and let it sit for a hour before washing it off with some damp paper towel before baking. Now here's the weird part that i learned from a experienced chef in china who specializes in chinese Bqq, you actually want to bake it till the skin is slightly char black on the outside and then scrape off the dark surface and then wiping it off. Afterwards go for a second bake to finish it off for the fluffy crunch that you would want.
using a spray gun/gas stove fire to burn the outer skin to black helps remove the remaining pig hair root ( 3:17 ) on the skin completely. Almost every Chinese pork belly dish has this step
I’m Asian and we have quite alot of crispy pork belly and it’s so satisfying hearing and seeing th pork, and i’m already feeling gud when your vid coms out Great vid Guga
I love you guys. You bring a smile to my face every show. I’m gonna start prepping everything for the Chinese Style. I have never had pork belly prepared this way. Thanks 🙏
ileaddeaths just wanted to see how long I could go when the new year started and somehow have lasted this long lol, still eat fish (pescatarian) just come here for my fix lol
Right? He said two hours at 450 with the salt, then back in for how much longer. I'm half way into the process with my pork belly and may have to base it on look of my pork belly when I cook it tomorrow.
also, you dont need the vinegar, we do pork belly here in the philippines and our style of cooking comes from japanese,Chinese, and Spanish, we dont do Vinger nor Salt Crush thats a waste of time in normal households, just boil the belly poke some holes make a good spice rub or a marinade if you like or just do a killer dip/sauce. then Fry it, the Crunch comes from the holes you poke it will form tiny air pockets on the pork making it have soft crunch.
I like how it took me almost the whole video wondering why I've seen the pork belly in vinegar before to remember that I'm chinese and have done that before.
I just came across this video and decided to try the Chinese method of making this. I rewatched that section several times and did not see you adding any rub or spice to it at all. Did the meat get any marinate at all or is it not needed for this method? Thanks for doing the comparison work to get the best method - it saves me time, money, and effort!
I am making in at this moment and i choosed to marinate mine in an oily, garlic, peper, paprika and oregano marinade. We have a salt crust already so no need to add the salt to the marinade lol. I will let you know if it comes out good.
I’ve done a lot of experimenting with pork belly. I also live in Asia now. The Chinese method is by far the best! It’s a light fluffy crunch and just amazing in every way. I recommend cooking it in an air fryer as the convection currents help even further to dry the skin and get it to puff up.
Dude, I found your channel on the burger episodes and now I find this. I moved to the Philippines last year and they do some amazing pork belly. One way is to rotisserie it and it's called 'Liempo' and the other is packed with spices and tied then either baked or done over coals and that's called Lechon belly. I'm really stoked I found this episode so I can do it at home. Peace!~
Stellar video, Guga! The description that you give makes it sound as though flaky is the word you were looking for. Thank you for all of the amazing videos and dedication!
Love how thorough you were in going through the different types and really going all the way with the Chinese style! Take my hat off to you. Well done!
Loved this. In Mexico, we have a type of food we call Lechon which is basically pork belly with a good crunchy bit. We turn it into tacos (obviously), and man that crunch just gives it that flavour and feeling to it.
Here in Minas Gerais, Brazil, there is another popular and effective method, which is: DO NOT get rid of moisture. Au contraire, only brine it in whatever seasoning you like for a couple of days, and then cook your meat wrapped in aluminum foil for half the time to keep the moisture in. Just make sure to watch your oven like a hawk after you remove the foil; if the meat is too lean, or if the cut is too small, it might get done a bit early. And as soon as you take it out of the oven, immediately blow cold air with a fan over the skin. The harder the wind blows, the crispier it gets. Works for any cut, but ham is definitely my favorite.
When I went to Bali and had the seafood with coconut shell charcoal I immediately wanted to try it here in the states with American bbq. I just never got around to doing it but I know it’ll be amazing! Please try it Guga!
Chinese pork crunch: 1. Pork, uniformed for best control. 2. Hole. 3. Boil 10 minutes, ice bath. 4. Hole's. 5. Skin side vinegar bath over night, rinse skin well. 6. More hole's. 7. Make tub boat with a lot of salt. 8. HOLE'S 9. Oven, till salt is dried and solid. 10. Ho-- Oh we remove the salt now... ok. 11. Put back in using a tong... *WITH HOLE'S!!!*
Me: woww I'm making Chinese pork belly for dinner. .... Me three days later: man I don't even remember what am I doing with these bunch of pork around the house
We tried the Chinese method and it was incredible! Thank you so much, our traditional Norwegian Christmas dinner, where a crispy crusted pork belly is what every housewife strive for, is now saved for all future ❤ We have but one question: when removing the salty roof the skin has a tendency to stick to the salt and it results in either tearing in the skin or big chunks of salt remaining on the crust. You have any tips for us? 🙂❤
The complex part with salt and the vinegar isn't really needed, punching lots of holes into the skin is the important part to get the crisps. Go all the way into the fat layer so the fat can boil out of the skin through the holes easier when the meat starts roasting. Just soften the skin up a bit with hot water first before you start poking, it makes it easier than to fight a piece of raw skin. You can season or marinade like how you usually do and to your own taste, you can even cut lines into the meat side to get better penetration with the seasoning. When the meat is done you can use those same line to portion it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts of the chines style with raw apple cider vinegar, instead of distilled white vinegar. Or maybe even white or red wine vinegar.
Hey Guga, I only poked holes in it and put it overnight in the refridgerator skinside down in coursesalt. The nextday i put oil on the skin and put tablesalt on it. Offcourse i used a rub at the otherside and i put it on my rotisserie in my kamado. I can tell you he was perfect just liked the chinese one you made only a lot easy’er. I love your channel! Kind regards from the Netherlands
Great video Guga. Quick question, when you returned the Chinese style to the grill after removing the salt, how much longer was it on or what were you looking for before it was done? Thanks and keep it up my south Florida brother!
Same question here. Also I noticed that he returned the Chinese style to the grill with the skin facing up. One additional question that I have is if the bubbles can develop that way or should the skin side face down at a given time?
Great work guga!! However let me humbly suggest something for u bro, actually vinegar is to remove excess moisture, so just brush some vinegar with a brush then put the meat under a cooling fan to dry it off then brush again with some vinegar. Then put the meat in refrigerator, it would make the things simpler I supposed. Cheers, all the way from Malaysia.
You forgot to burn off the hairs and scrape clean can't stand the small hairs sticking up on my pork skin . The Chinese method is usually to place it skin down in a hot dry Wok then scrape with Chinese knife, alternative method is to hit with a blow torch and then scrape clean .Other than that they all looked good but Chinese style crispy pork is always going to win in by book . Great video keep it up !
not gonna lie, watching the salt get lifted as giant crust off the Chinese Pork fry is incredibly cool, its not like, overbearingly salty? That's incredible!
Purpose of the salt is to absorb moisture from skin. That's why you don't put table salt there but rough sea salt. If you are using smooth table salt, salt will sip in into the skin and the skin will be extremely salty.
That's filipino lechon kawali but the technique of cooking is different. My grandmother's style is First. Boiling Second let it dry Third fry it Fourth spray a little bit of water while frying
Typical lechon will probably be like the dehydratednone in the video. They don't have bubbles and they have a smooth, compressed, but crunchy texture. Still good though. The Cebu versions are probably the close to chicharon because of the poking treatment. I haven't tried Lechon Cebu because I'm from Luzon ( I just know the poking treatment from watching a lot of food vids) but I want to try it.
hello can i ask a question @guga after youve removed the salt crust from the chinese pork belly, then returned it to the heat, how long do you have to cook it more to achieve that crispy skin?thanks for the answer
Let me sum it up for the people that dont wanna be tortured by guga's food: Chinese: the winner dehydrated: crunch but a solid no air bubble piece of skin (idk why is this even a way to make crispy skin) oven baked & deep fry: your normal everyday crunchy skin. Oven: softer, less oilly taste. Deepfry: harder, more oilly taste.
If no-one has said it before you should cut the pork upside down... IE. Put the crispy skin side flat on the board and cut through ... Going through the soft layer first and cutting the crisp skin at the end will make a clean cut in the crispy skin side... instead of forcing the knife first through the crispy skin and then the meat Wich shatters the clean edge cut you want... Then take each slice and turn on the side to cut into cube or bite size pieces... It's exactly the same as cutting a baked pastry... Like a tart or shortbread you'll smash it to pieces if you don't cut at the right angle... Never cut through the crackling first... You'll just end up mashing it to pieces losing buts of crunch and squeezing out juices... Love your work... Flavour city 😍
What was the total cook time (in the BBQ) for the Oven, Dehydrated and Chinese? You mention to take the Chinese out at 2 hours and remove salt then put back of for (how long)? Never mentioned how long the Oven and Dehydrated stayed on for in total!!! Thanks for everything you do!!!
For the Chinese style: You actually have you to dust off any excess salt on top, baked it until the salt burnt. Take out the meat, scarp off the burnt parts making sure not to scrap the skin off, you still see an orange color of skin. Then you brush the skin generously with vegetables oil and bake it again at a lower heat.
Hello, I’ve just tried salt pepper and garlic powder on steak and it was so damn good. Thank you for sharing your methods with us. Much love from America

@@jamescatlover123 time consuming but worth the time. It's literally every luxury food in a nutshell, not those 1 minute fast food thingies.
Bagnet is awesome its not a fastfood thingy
Damn,I always wonder how people are able to make it that crispy man,thanks for the info Guga! Keep it up!!
Where can I get some A5 steaks??
Great video Guga. Quick question, when you returned the Chinese style to the grill after removing the salt, how much longer was it on or what were you looking for before it was done? Thanks and keep it up my south Florida brother!
Same question here. Also I noticed that he returned the Chinese style to the grill with the skin facing up. One additional question that I have is if the bubbles can develop that way or should the skin side face down at a given time?
Great work guga!! However let me humbly suggest something for u bro, actually vinegar is to remove excess moisture, so just brush some vinegar with a brush then put the meat under a cooling fan to dry it off then brush again with some vinegar. Then put the meat in refrigerator, it would make the things simpler I supposed. Cheers, all the way from Malaysia.
You forgot to burn off the hairs and scrape clean can't stand the small hairs sticking up on my pork skin . The Chinese method is usually to place it skin down in a hot dry Wok then scrape with Chinese knife, alternative method is to hit with a blow torch and then scrape clean .Other than that they all looked good but Chinese style crispy pork is always going to win in by book .
Great video keep it up !
4:01 “you looking for tiny HoEs”- guga 2019
Lol not huge ones.
i thought i was the only one that giggled at that. lol
Random Slenos FBI: OPEN UP!
not gonna lie, watching the salt get lifted as giant crust off the Chinese Pork fry is incredibly cool, its not like, overbearingly salty? That's incredible!
Purpose of the salt is to absorb moisture from skin. That's why you don't put table salt there but rough sea salt.
If you are using smooth table salt, salt will sip in into the skin and the skin will be extremely salty.
@@bunnyfreakz Makes a lot of sense, thank you!
This is essentially a kind of dehydration method?
@@TheGreyAngelic exactly the salt is almost like a shell it never penetrates the skin.
chinese roast pork creates amaaaazing crunch! glad you guys loved it
That's filipino lechon kawali but the technique of cooking is different.
My grandmother's style is
First. Boiling
Second let it dry
Third fry it
Fourth spray a little bit of water while frying
Or the bagnet style.👍
The water is just for the illusion of it becoming crisper. And also burn hazard so keep your pot lid shield up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Need to try Lechon from the Philippines, it’s the best crunch if cooked right and melts in your mouth at the same time.
Typical lechon will probably be like the dehydratednone in the video. They don't have bubbles and they have a smooth, compressed, but crunchy texture. Still good though. The Cebu versions are probably the close to chicharon because of the poking treatment. I haven't tried Lechon Cebu because I'm from Luzon ( I just know the poking treatment from watching a lot of food vids) but I want to try it.
Proud filipino here!
You’re the best! Greetings from São Paulo! You’re my example
Valeu amigo!
I tried the Chinese one and it was DELICIOUS 🤤
Hahah seeing the Chinese one being the best makes me happier than I ought to be
Trust me the Chinese have mastered anything 'stir' and 'fried'
Fried rice
bats.
@@abt1580 haha xD
Corona
ABT had to be a well cooked bat 🦇
Watching these at 11pm makes me scream internally. Great job.
I don't eat pork, but I think this video might've almost convinced me. Coming from someone like me, this is an extreme compliment.
anyone else notice that one piece with the "nipple"? lol
Wouldn't eat that piece 😑
Snowflakes
Yeah the teet is gonna be a no from me
Which one?
@Sal Marcano takes one to know one, buddy
hello can i ask a question @guga
after youve removed the salt crust from the chinese pork belly, then returned it to the heat, how long do you have to cook it more to achieve that crispy skin?thanks for the answer
Is nobody gonna talk about how Guga just pointed his middle finger at angel at 10:42 lmao
That’s very typical outside of the us to point w the middle finger
u a kid?
Let me sum it up for the people that dont wanna be tortured by guga's food:
Chinese: the winner
dehydrated: crunch but a solid no air bubble piece of skin (idk why is this even a way to make crispy skin)
oven baked & deep fry: your normal everyday crunchy skin. Oven: softer, less oilly taste. Deepfry: harder, more oilly taste.
Really proud as Chinese since you have discovered Chinese food is best of all.
Chinese Style all the way. Its lots of work but there is nothing better.
We call it Siew Yoke. Great video Guga!
how do you pronounce it?
@@muffdestroyer9000 Siew like view, yoke as in egg yoke.
It is in Cantonese by the way.
If no-one has said it before you should cut the pork upside down... IE. Put the crispy skin side flat on the board and cut through ... Going through the soft layer first and cutting the crisp skin at the end will make a clean cut in the crispy skin side... instead of forcing the knife first through the crispy skin and then the meat Wich shatters the clean edge cut you want... Then take each slice and turn on the side to cut into cube or bite size pieces... It's exactly the same as cutting a baked pastry... Like a tart or shortbread you'll smash it to pieces if you don't cut at the right angle... Never cut through the crackling first... You'll just end up mashing it to pieces losing buts of crunch and squeezing out juices... Love your work... Flavour city 😍
...but..why are oyu...typing..like...this...though?.....i am simulating....a stroke....while reading it............
What was the total cook time (in the BBQ) for the Oven, Dehydrated and Chinese? You mention to take the Chinese out at 2 hours and remove salt then put back of for (how long)? Never mentioned how long the Oven and Dehydrated stayed on for in total!!! Thanks for everything you do!!!
Please answer😭
Yeah well my uncle knows how to fart with his arm pit.
Guga: Now , I know it doesn't look that good right now...
Hot oil: But watch this.
Bro, you've gotta add close ups when you are tasting/reviewing the food!! You're so good!
4:58
i cant believe this man put a porkbelly in lil yachty
"Soft but hard" - Yeah that's what I always tell myself.
Relatable whenever I see a lizard egg omelet
For the Chinese style: You actually have you to dust off any excess salt on top, baked it until the salt burnt. Take out the meat, scarp off the burnt parts making sure not to scrap the skin off, you still see an orange color of skin. Then you brush the skin generously with vegetables oil and bake it again at a lower heat.
That way the skin pores opens up
You cannot have a dry mouth while watching Guga and Angel eating. It's mouth-wateringly deliciousness!
Hello, I’ve just tried salt pepper and garlic powder on steak and it was so damn good. Thank you for sharing your methods with us. Much love from America
After remove the Salt after the 2 hours in the chinese style and put again in the grill how much time have stay there
That’s what I want to know, too.
To help on this question, I found out that usually pork goes at high temp for the last hour of roasting to crisp the skin.
that last! filipino cook that way! we called it "lechon kawali" love this! god bless you my friend!
10:59 he’s literally pointing his middle finger at him lol
lol
imagine angel licks his fingers lol
Lol he didn’t mean to lol
I just lost my job because of the pandemic, so I started a UA-cam cooking channel. Wish me luck!!!

Les du it !
I have been working in Asia for 6yrs in Singapore they do amazing pork belly Chinese style it's the best.
What was the total grill time for the oven style and Chinese style? At 5:15 you mentioned 450 degrees for 2 hours but you said you left it in.
