In this video, I take pork belly, chilies ,garlic, mushrooms, onions, caramelized sweet onion chutney, rice and an egg, and create my own version of Sweet Chili Pork, with Egg Fried Rice.

Brilliant! There is something so comforting about watching you cook and hearing what you have to say. Like hanging out with a friend and having a chat. Thanks for satisfying our culinary cravings! As always, it is so much fun to watch your videos! 🖖🏻🤗🧡
Exactly what I was just thinking!
I have to admit that when I first saw the listing for the Travels by Narrowboat show I couldn't believe people would watch it 😀, but I've found it both relaxing and interesting. Much better than a lot of the garbage on TV and social media!
Don't read the negative stuff.
It's the engine noise in back ground. Like the African Queen engine sound.
People's comments are generally a reflection of their heart.... Carry on Sir.
"For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."
You’re such a good sport, Kevin. You spend a lot of time and effort producing your wonderful videos for people to enjoy (and the vast majority do - including moi) and despite a small contingent of whinging deplorables (what’s their beef anyways?) leaving nonsensical comments you press on in good humor for the sake of your many adoring (yes, adoring) fans. Thank you! You’re appreciated. Your calming manner and understated humor have provided us many hours of respite during this very strange time. We’re getting slammed in America from every direction and your videos have been a much needed balm.
Thank you Gale, it's really gratifying to hear how helpful the series is. ☺
Greetings from America! My wife and I love your show, and your cooking has inspired both of us to be more adventurous in the kitchen. One thing we would love to see is a traditional English breakfast cooked on Aslan! Keep it up CHG!!
This recipe has become an absolute favorite in my family! My sister and her husband request it every time they come to town. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've made it, but I'm making again this evening. It's almost 1a.m. your time, but all the way over her in the US, your dish is being cooked whilst you're asleep! Haha!
Awesome Tammie. Thank you indeed. 😊
@@CountryHouseGent In all honesty, I owe you that Thank you. It always turns out perfectly! Take good care!
That looked like a great meal. It is interesting to see someone cooking in a small space not in a fancy kitchen. Gives the full view of canal boat life.
My Mother would say "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all"
Kevin- don’t ever stop the recipes! Aside from the wonderful details on canal life, we love learning about (and trying) what you get up to in the kitchen. All the best from Houston, Tx 😊👍
Dallas TX lockdown ;=)
My wife started making this dish and it quickly became a family favorite. Any time her sister comes to town, that's what she requests. It doesn't take her long to make it either. St.Louis, Mo.
i know this is 2 years old. I enjoy your adventurous spirit.and the calming beat of Aslan's engine. I just turned 75 and enjoy learning something new each day. I just learned that you are supposed to heat a stainless steel pan before putting your oil or fat into the pan. Bring your oil up to temp and then put your ingredients in. This is supposed to help with clean up. You look like you have been using your pan for years. Oh well. keep cooking even if the lock down year has passed.
Kevin, you bring me peace. Thank you.
Quality, Kevin! Just what the doctor ordered. I find cooking shows very relaxing, and I am no chef. It is the pace, and someone explaining what they are doing.
Ignore the haters. One thing I learnt years ago, was to not let others affect my mood. Not always easy, you have to remind yourself at times. I am looking forward to the next recipe. Cheers!
Thank you Brian. My only issue with the comments, is I'm truly staggered by what goes through their minds - assuming their minds had anything to do with it? 😁
@@CountryHouseGent I know, Kevin. That video you did that time, about being alone on a boat, dealing with loneliness etc, I thought was very honest, genuine, selfless, and helpful . At times like this you might want to give it a watch yourself. Heed some of your own good advice. Take care. Keep the videos coming, please.
@@CountryHouseGent I love seeing you cook, my kitchens about the size of yours, I am in a small bungalow, and ignore the jealous idiots , just keep up showing us how an amazing man you are, you are a proper man, dealing with what ever comes along, like my Dad did doing mechanical stuff is not for the snowflake people they couldn’t do it as they won’t like getting oil on their little snow flake hands, be safe . X
Reminds me of a cookbook I once bought for a friend.....A Man, A Can, A Plan. :-) Keep cooking Kevin!
Whag a great title Lisa. Cheers ☺
Love when you cook. And now I know what to make for dinner.
I love the cooking bit Kevin, a few of your meals I've tried with great results, keep them coming! Love the sound of Aslan chugging down the canals, so relaxing. Hope all is well with you, stay safe!
I’m a Speech Therapist and one of my patients turned me on to your show on Amazon. We love discussing it and can’t wait to see more. Our favorite bits are the real life moments of living on the boat with the cooking segments. Thank you for relieving my stress during this crazy time.
Many thanks Briar Rose. Always rewarding to hear how the series is providing some escape from all that's going on at the moment.
I know I'm late on the comments for this video, but my husband and I love Thai/Asian food and your recipes are ones that us regular folks can actually make and love. Thank you for sharing real life recipes and videos.
Using what you have without planning and buying for a particular recipe is what cooking us all about. People who can do that are true cooks….that means most of us. If you only cook to a recipe you are simply a copyist. So cheers Kevin. You are the real thing.
I like how you cook by what’s available. That’s how us Spanish cook. Your mom taught you right. 😊
You have a calming voice. Boats and travel and food! It all works for me.
Thank you for sharing your life and adventures. Your cooking is wonderful ! Carry on …. I’m vicariously riding along.
I love this recipe. I can not wait to try it for myself. Thanks for cooking, Kevin!
Hi Kevin... please don't let those people bug you. They have to be miserable to do the things they do and say. I truly appreciate and enjoy all of your videos. The food looks great.
You take care and be safe..
Thank you Charlene, I truly appreciate the support. ☺
Looks lovely. I'd love some of that. I don't know why some people have to be so negative. 2 years on and still loving the channel :)
why on earth do people moan about your cooking?... some people have such green eyes on against others that are just living their best lives ..its really sad..... you take no notice hun and keep going.. there are more people out there who love what you do than not... you are bringing joy to others ... stay safe.. obtw my sleep is the same as yours .. 15hr aday wide wake at night
Because some people moan about anything ,its gives them attention
I can't cook to save my life and have no interest in watching cooking shows. That's my cross to bear. But I don't understand anyone who wastes their time composing negative comment. Why don't they simply "click on by"?
You know your nutrition Kevin! Good for you…to your health!
I love the cooking in the videos don’t stop. It’s not like it’s all about the cooking. I enjoy watching you and Aslan plod along, the sound of the engine and then… it’s dinner time. X
Well Kevin having watched you like you say at the start people don't get it it shows you don't need all the appliances that are in a kitchen in a house if you want the belly pork with crispy cracknel just wash it dry of the skin put a small amount of salt on it rub it in then cook it in the oven first then cut it up you are doing a great job love it keep up the great work the only problem watching you is it makes me hungry but you have learned me a lot thanks once again (Phil) .
So glad to find you again and COOKING! Love listening to you talk. Very soothing. Love to watch you cooking....👍🏼😊
I rarely like what you cook (I'm a bit picky), but I love your cooking videos. Very creative dishes!
I for one love watching your cooking episodes its difficult to find narrowboat cooking episodes and i would love to see more in the future its so refreshing to see and your presenting style is so relaxed and down to earth and really works please dont listen to the haters their just hateful people trying to hurt others to make themselves feel important youve got loads of us that love your channel the haters arent worth any notice
Yes! That's what we're talking about. Thank you.
Found this video so entertaining and informative. Having just discovered your online presence early in March, and having binge watched all the Amazon Prime content (finishing about 3/25), I must say I've found the episodes featuring your cooking among the best. Your approach to living your life on your own terms has inspired me during dark moments which have presented themselves during this lockdown period that I never saw coming. Keep up the good work!
I had a good laugh about the fish mongers. Thank you dear Kevin!
Good to hear it. 😁 Bit of a fishy story. 😄
Great, Kevin. I've always enjoyed your cooking videos, keep them coming! Useful stuff, too. There will be a lot of us with limited ingredients available looking for ideas.
Do not pay any attention to negative people and poopy comments. They are not worth your notice. I love watching your adventures and greatly admire your spirit and enthusiasm.
Hi Kevin,
I enjoy your methodological way of going about things, including cooking in your galley, and I find I feel the satisfaction and contentment that you appear to feel, when you have completed preparation of one of your meals.
I wouldn’t even read any negative posts. Some people are filled with discontent to unhealthy levels and enjoy blasting others with some of the very many negative thoughts that their pent up unhappiness causes to continuously swirl through their minds. It has nothing to do with the objects of their vile criticism and contempt, so just let it go by, and be glad you are not in their heads or their lives.
I love the cooking segments. Please keep them going. I am fascinated with your traditional English ingredients and recipes. I love that in all of the show, you are aware of the pricing of items. You are proud of saving money. Too many people are proud of paying a lot of money for things (at least here in America). I am eating your "Egg Fried Rice". Great idea. I add onions, various vegetables and maybe some meat from time to time. Stay well. You're helping our lock-down time.
Love the cooking demos - a real slice of British life. If people don’t like it, then turn the dial. Pretty simple solution Negative Nellys!
Thanks Kevin for keeping shinning a little light during these dark times. We also are locked down here in the suburbs about an hour west of Philadelphia. Thanks again. John
Your resourcefulness is to be admired! It’s certainly not LIFE as we would like it, but we’re all in this together.
So, stay safe and healthy so we can reconvene from time to time. Cheers!
Nice touch with the egg in the 🍚 rice
Cheers, works a treat Pam.
Looks absolutely delicious 👨🍳👍
Thank you Robert
That video has such a funny opening, very well done indeed!
Thank you Peter. 😁
Dear Kevin, You always bring such joy into our lives when we visit you "live" on the narrowboat. It is so uplifting. During these difficult (to put it mildly) times, please do all you can to publish! Talk about anything. It really helps.

Kevin I just started rewatching season one and it’s helping get through our self isolation here in the states. My wife and I are fixing up our VW Westfalia diesel like the one you had in first episodes. You have inspired us to take a road or canal less traveled. So when you get back on your bike keep an eye out for a VW with Tennessee plates. In the mean time as A.P. Carter said many times “keep on the sunny side of life”
I do enjoy the cooking bits. All the life-aboard stories are most intriguing, and preparing a meal is the greatest activity, at least for a single guy living alone. :)
Love the show, love the cooking bits. Keep doing what you do.
Yay! Cooking video! I don't watch cooking shows. But oddly, I really enjoy your cooking videos. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Hi Kevin hope your keeping well.
I'm watching this at 3.30 am .
So yes my sleep pattern is gone haywire.
Keep up the fantastic videos they certainly are keeping us entertained.
Don't take any notice of the negative comments.
The vast majority love you mate .
Stay safe .
One thing about that unmentionable thing sweeping through the world - it brought the CHG cooking "show" back to UA-cam. Of course, we pray for everyone's well being, and in the mean time reflect on this era of uncertainty. A little humor never hurts, but can be quite therapeutic, like sleeping, indeed. Since people are interested in CHG's cupboards, maybe its time to take advantage of the situation and start some Amazon affiliate links like CHG Organic Aduki Beans, CHG Madras Spice Paste etc. Shipping CHG Pork Belly may be problematic in the U.S as we have certain regulations. Great Show.
We just enjoy watching and listening to you so much. Stay well.
Very good ! Thx for posting more cooking.I am genuinely interested in the domestic aspect of the Narrowboat lifestyle 😊
Totally agree. The other Boat Tubers, who I also enjoy, don’t do as much about the domestic side of things. Obviously, cruising is enjoyable, but what about the basic life chores? Well done.
Love the show Kevin, I just watched your first experience in 2017 and loved everything about it, just now logged into this show on cooking. I lived in Cookham back then, now Sydney Australia. I have dreamed of doing what you are doing for years. I will have to make this dream come true before it too late when I go back to England, if you know what I mean. Well done to you, keep the shows coming!!!!!
Enjoy your cooking💗
Kevin, your great! I like you and I just loved watching you cook up that fantastic plate!
As always your videos are interesting and entertaining, thank you !
Looked delicious!
Looks so tasty that it cured my bald patch. Thanks Kevin
Thank you. Always enjoy the cooking videos. Take Care.
Interesting choices of ingredients!!! Looks lovely... I’d have been seriously tempted to empty that entire pan of rice directly into the meat, chili’s, etc!! Makes me open my own horizons in the kitchen!!
Love your cooking and the show keep up the great work
Will do Devin, thanks.
Good on you Kevin.... I cooked a Chicken Chow Mein on a Narrowboat three weeks ago and it was better than anything we've ever had from a takeaway... I did have a wok though... You're so right about onions, garlic and spicy foods being good for us. A lot of people seem to believe otherwise... thank you for this...
Glad you took my suggestion and are instructing us on cooking. I admire you for taking control of your life and healing your ulcer and doing what was best for you. I have turned my sisters on to your boat show as we are all stressing. Good to know we have an experienced voice of reason to listen to.
This is Barbi not Shawn.
Funny! Love it.
Ooh i love the cooking part of your video's. And i like the recepe as well. Stay safe wash your hands LOL and i'm off watching your next video :) Greetings,, Kitty.
Cheers Kitty ☺
😂 Good fish story!
Looks great even though I'm watching in the morning!
I'm gonna try this with more caramelized
Chutney 🎉
Looks delicious! Ignore the trolls. You do you as the saying goes. Nice to watch ordinary everyday tasks. Relaxing during this stressful time. Hugs🇨🇦💕🇨🇦❤️👍
Kevin, I am a bit late to your party, but find each of your posts to be genuine, calming and completely enjoyable. I hope you know your audience is worldwide! I live in South Carolina, in the US. Ignore the nay-sayers. Your journey is amazing, and it is fun to feel a part of it!
Great way to use up cupboard and frig ingredients. If you like stir frys...I do....get a bottle of sesame oil. It adds huge flavor to stir frys. It only takes a few drops. Just store in frig after opening. Another great sauce is fish or oyster sauce. Both are great stir fry ingredients. Keep on cooking.
Nice job. I'm hungry would love some. Ym ym
Looks wonderful mate!
As someone who has lived with RV lights for 13 years -- get a LAMP! Warm homey light in the kitchen. You'll thank me. Too Joe v. The Volcano in there!
Yes I know what you mean but usually it's not as bright as that. Only when I'm filming cos it needs good light for the camera.
@@CountryHouseGent . It's just the quality of the light in person. So comforting. Makes a mobile house feel more like home. Less office-like. You don't really notice what you're missing until you add it. Did the same with the bedroom. Some people really don't mind the overhead lights. Jist throwingnit out there. You have a nice floor plan. Like the kitchen and the spot for eating and love the cooking segments! Thanks for all the work you've done to share your journey! 👍
We love your show. We have been watching your videos since last Summer. Would like to see you do some engine maintenance videos. Keep on filming!
Hi Jill and thank you. I'm happy to do some maintenance stuff but Aslan is fettled to the nth degree and not needing anything at the moment. An oil change maybe but I can't get the oil delivered currently.
Thank you Kevin ! Knocked another one out of the box ! Stay safe.....you're still the best !
assembladge, excellent, bloody brilliant sir.
Thanks again Kevin that meal looked brilliant and as you said "nice and colourful", I'll try that myself as it's my style of grub. Don't entertain the negative/miserable sods as it's your take on a "what's in the cupboard" recipe so if they don't like it then don't cook it. Take care, all the best. Stevie
Appreciated as always Stevie, cheers. Yes, I think a few missed the point of the exercise, offering suggestions (orders) to include ingredients which I didn't have. 😁
I'm a recent addition to your subscribers, I stumbled across your series on Amazon Prime and have watched the entire lot, loved them. Hungry for more I've found you here on UA-cam, now working my way through your playlists and love these too. The cooking videos are a great addition & in my opinion and do exactly as you originally intended i.e. show all aspects of living life "off grid". Ignore any negative feedback as some people are just mean, I don't get it myself as I'm old school - "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all". I look forward to following your future videos and hope you stay safe and well!
I ate lunch while watching your video and it made me even more hungry....Thank you for the entertainment.
Hi Kevin, I have watched this and most of your videos several times. They have helped me through this bizarre year. You are my therapist 🥰 thank you
Only too happy to be of help Penney. Yes, it's the weirdest and most senseless period I've ever encountered in my 52 years.
Another great video Kevin
nice dish sir, i do like your cooking on the boat tips and ideas, looks tasty :)
Lovely Bon-appetit
That was very good thank you🙏✝️🕊🙏
Pleased you enjoyed it James. Best wishes,
I believe I'll have a go at that one. Well done Gent.
This many years in and I still can't get enough of your cooking content!!
Nice one Kevin. Home cooked cheap and nutritious meals, unbeatable. Power to you mate.
I wonder if the people making derogatory comments are having a: a heavily processed or b: local takeaway dinner this evening? I think it is good to show just how much you can do in a very small space with basic equipment. Back when I was a foster mother I could have anything up to 6 kids on the boat, shopping was always fun as we bought what we could as we traveled (farm shops where possible) so I never really planned meals in advance but we had fresh food cooked well. I think your cooking is great, imagination is not a bad thing ;)
Awesome Karen and I concur. Traveling around the network, I cooked what was available from the little village shops. A visit to a rare supermarket, was like visiting wonderland. 😁
whatever u have anything or left over to make something good food. thats what i do sometimes. thanks for sharing
Thanks for the cooking video! Love watching you cook on your narrowboat.
Thank you - I find watching you so relaxing - FYI we always keep a bag of frozen peas that we add to our fried rice, adds color and we love peas...Take care
What a fantastic meal.... It is what you have on hand, economical, two pans (easy clean up), and now I'm on the hunt for sweet onion chutney! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome Richard and you're very welcome. ☺
I love the cooking in fact I was looking for you cooking again when I found this one
There are people out there that are just plain negative and they want everyone else like them. Chin up, keep smiling, stay positive in this crazy world(sometimes it is hard) keep on cooking and cruising.
Outstanding, Kevin! As for the naysayers... well. They don't like anything because they don't like themselves. They think other people care what they think; and they're wrong.
I think we have all had some degree of anxiety over this period, I certainly had a few days early on. You seem happier now which is good. The angry people will still make their comments hidden in internet anonymity, they are most probably sad and lonely but it does not excuse their behaviour. Keep smiling and look forward to dry roads and clear canals. Nev
We’re such nosy bodies. Lol don’t fridge the tomatoes. Thank you for the visit!
Wow, that looks amazing.Amazing what can be made for little outlay. If there is one thing I do love is chicken with sweet chilli sauce. So yummy. You have so many talents that people's negative comments are out of pure (green eyed monster) syndrome. I find you a fountain of knowledge.
Many thanks Pammi. :)
@@CountryHouseGent most welcome. Just speaking the truth. :)
