you are the first person I saw who uses kecap manis in western cooking. it is one of the ingredient used in most of Indonesian recipes. The last time I smoked bacon, I accidentally poured some kecap manis in the charcoal, it turned out good. After seeing this video, now I am going to use kecap manis when making my own bacon lol.
I just made the bacon following your brining mixture. The taste was amazing. It is way way more flavourful than all the previous bacons I made. Who would ever thought that kecap manis is good for bacon lol. Thanks for sharing the awesome video. Although I do have a question, after 1 week of brining, I tasted the meat (pan fry) before smoking, it turned out very salty that it turned bitter in the taste bud. Any tips?
In Croatia we don't smoke it like that. We leave them in basements, hanging of the ceiling and they stay there for year or two. And these basements have fireplaces which we use so bacon is slowly smoked and dried over the log period
It's not really a year or 2 I'm from Serbia we leave bacon to smoke for like 2 weeks and then put them in basement (as you said) or somewhere on the open
I just happened upon your channel about two weeks ago and have been addicted ever since. My Brother and I run a hog roast business and I have been wanting to move into smoking and bbq and after seeing your passion for it I have ordered a smoker and I can't wait to try this bacon recipe.
If your camera man gets sick or can't make it to work... Can I volunteer? I don't know anything about operating a camera, and I will probably stare at the food the whole time, but I will be dedicated
I like when people say both, "AM in the morning"... One or the other... NEVER both! AM means After Meridien, morning! ...and 'morning' means AM... Time is complicated because people can't seem to count to 24. 12 twice makes WAY more sense... LMAO!!!
Just did ribs tonight (I know, not bacon) and made boerenkool for the first time. Bloody awesome! 🙂 Goes so well with bbq. Great content, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for this video! I'm raising two pigs in the backyard and will butcher them in November. I can't wait to do this with the bacon I get off my pigs. Also, raising pigs in the backyard is much simpler than keeping a dog and I think more people should do it. If anyone would like to learn how, I have ever some videos on the topic.
Had to search 5 different stores in Canada for the Manis. But - I found it! This recipe has been in my fridge for 3 days now. Can’t wait till the weekend to smoke it up and try it! The smell is amazing already!!
I used kecap manis,bourbon barreall ennessee bourbon for flavor and on the second slab apple sauce, juice and just a bit of keep manis(you got me hooked on that stuff),couple more hours till its ready
"Grade A maple syrup...make sure you get the good stuff" Actually grade of maple syrup have nothing to do with quality. Maple syrup is graded based first on color and second on flavor. People assume that "fancy" grade syrup is the best. fancy syrup is the lightest grade, with the least amount of flavor. the darker the grade, the more robust and flavorful the syrup will be. dak syrup would be best for brining, baking, and cooking in general
Thank you for this video. Now I'm hungry. It brought back soooo many memories from my childhood. We knew boor cole and potatoes mashed together as "stompot". (Please excuse my dutch spelling if it's wrong as it has been many years since writing it.) Both of my parents were from The Netherlands, but I was born here in Canada. Dad's family were millers/farmers and I remember visiting during harvest; produce, grain and the regular, dutch-style pig butchering (Yes. There is a difference.). Grandma was in charge of home made headcheeze, wurst, blutwurst and, of course, BACON! In time, it was absolutely wonderful to taste all that great food without all the unnecessary fake-taste chemical additives. Remember! Well prepared food take time and care to be not good, but fabulous! To your " ate smakaluk"..."ook so".
in Alabama Applewood is most popular for smoking, also sorghum instead of molasses. everything else is same as you did. i like crushed pepper seeds on mine while it is curing
Ik denk dat u Nederlands bent. De bacon ziet er geweldig uit, ik denk dat het ook lekker is met een goeie scheut Bourbon en een lekkere hand bruine suiker.
I love your videos & have learned so much. I started smoking when I was living in Bali so I was already a fan of kecip manis. I found this be too salty so will try it with less salt next time so I have enough to help dry out the meat but not over power the taste. Keep up the great work Pit. X & crew.
I've made honey/maple cured and applewood cold smoked bacon. In the frypan it fills the whole house with the most tantalizing scent. I do use pink salt since i make enough to last for the year.
Your voice and smile are really soothing.. Everybody like to eat delicious food, but you gave us more than delicious recipe.. This goodlooking man is really an eye candy to us!! Ps. We indonesian eat kecap manis everyday,😁😅😄
I've made bacon for years, both with or without nitrites. My favorite is without and hot smoked. Best flavour setup....whiskey and maple syrup, 10 day cure. Yummy
I have just put two types of bacon in the fridge and then I find this. I will try this recipe next time! There are so many recipes out there, but this one looks great.
Bango brand Kecap Manis is an ingredient in my locally famous small batch BBQ sauce. Been using it for years. Great stuff. Or play with a mix of double black soy sauce, molasses or palm sugar if Kecap isn't available. Gonna use some in my honey baked Christmas ham too ! Yum : )
Hi, I have tried your way of making homemade Bacon and it turned out amazing. I have started to try different add-ons with the cure. At the moment there is one piece with smashed Juniper berries and one with caraway seeds in my Weber. I think it will need 1 more hour in the smoke ;-)
I did this recipe and used a probe thermometer and set it to 153 F... When it beeped, it was done... Don't remember how long but if you use a thermometer you can't go wrong....
I watch a lot of cooking videos like BBQ Pit Boys and Binging with Babish, you're definitely one of the greats. Good work with all these videos you've done!
I love Kecap manis, cant live without it. you have a good taste.can wait to try your recipe. if I am using the oven how long it will take to cook it? the lowest my oven is 170F
Man this is the first time I watch one of your videos, and I love it. The feeling you create and the atmosphere are awesome. Of course I’m trying this Regards from Nicaragua
My mouth started to watering badly as soon as you're removing the bacon from the barbecue stove. Hmm! I've to make one that size to enjoy my big meal like that one day soon.
Gonna brine up some belly today. Being here in Ontario we'll just do salt and sugar and Maple Syrup. Got some locally made Syrup, a real taste of Ontario.
You should try a 'measured cure' where each ingredient is added based on the actual weight of your piece of pork belly. It's the method we use, and it never turns out too salty.
If you like the flavor balance, but it's just too Strong, you could reduce marination time - though you should follow directions if you are adding special "curing salts" to your brine. In the absence of curing salt, and if you will be cooking or freezing within a few days of smoking, you could just put a lower percentage of salt in your brine.
Harry Vlone I was waiting for someone to make this smart ass comment. Of corse I thought about that. I have only tried this twice. This isn’t just throwing down a steak. It’s not a cheap cut and it takes 7days to cure. I want to make sure my ratios are correct the next time I try it so I don’t waste my time. Read the replies above. They provided Helpful ideas.
For a moment I wondered, what does this European know about smoking or real bacon? But then you showed me and now I wonder what I am doing with my life without this bacon in it.
Great video! I am Dutch and thus knew you're a Dutchmen as well. When you said you're European I was sure 😁 But your accent is great! Compared to most Dutch people.
1:24 (ID) Kecap Manis = (EN) Sweet Soy Sauce It's a condiment, it's thick and sweet. It's commonplace used in (ID) Nasi Goreng or (EN) Fried Rice among other things. I make Lombok Kecap (lit. Chili Pepper Soy Sauce) to go along with grilled fish.
Starnge watching a person from your part of the planet talking bout BBQ. As a paerson from the mecca of bacon, maple syrup and BBQ... Canada. You would fit in well here. Thumbs up.
I used to do this 10 years ago and had forgotton about it , it comes out on saturday from brining will be smoked in the arvo and ll be eating it sunday for breakfast mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm .
This is the first time I've seen any videos from this channel but I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed liked and click the Bell so I can get all the notifications I think that's awesome that's my dream job keep up the good work keep the good videos coming👍👍
I will point out you should use coarse seasalt or kosher salt if you are mixing equal amounts of salt and sugar. Tablesalt is much finer and equal amount will make it far to salty, also many tablesalts have anti caking agents and iodie added which will give the bacon a bitter flavour. I use 1 tablespoons coarse black pepper, a cup of coarse seasalt per kilo of raw cane sugar as my base brine mix, i also like to add coarse ground toasted corinader seed, Did you turn the porkbelly everyday ? while curing? I would also suggest cutting a little slice off before smoking fry it off and check how salty it is, if it is to salty you can soak it in ice water for an hour try another slice from a different area, if still too salty repeat again with fresh ice water. i started with 50/50 salt/sugar but found it to salty for my taste.
What was the bottle of stuff you added that wasn’t the maple syrup?
Ketjap Manis.. also known as kecap manis
sweet soy sause in english
budi suharto Thank you for the description.

All this time I thought you were saying "ketchup mayonnaise". I was so confused.

In Croatia we don't smoke it like that. We leave them in basements, hanging of the ceiling and they stay there for year or two. And these basements have fireplaces which we use so bacon is slowly smoked and dried over the log period
I really need to visit Croatia!
And it doesn't spoil?
And thats the real bacon, not this shit....
For a year? Bullshit
It's not really a year or 2 I'm from Serbia we leave bacon to smoke for like 2 weeks and then put them in basement (as you said) or somewhere on the open
That bacon looks fantastic, Roel. You are in control of what you put into it, when you make it yourself. Great job there. Cheers!
