Just need a little patience for it to be cooked. Thanks to Jamie too for working tirelessly behind the scenes, as always. ❤🌹

[@spicenpans]

Thanks so much, jyenswallow ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LeuCustomKnives]

Man this was my favorite thing to eat when my uncle and aunt would visit from Taiwan. They’d make it several times when they were here for a month or two. I never asked what it was and until maybe 25 years later did I realize it was pork belly. Loved it with braised egg too.

[@amoya3214]

Hi Roland always a pleasure seeing your videos can I do this with chicken or beef

[@amosteow5989]

Tips for improvement: Ginger can be added earlier tgt with the pork to rls the ginger aroma and also to take away any odour Sugar itself will caramelise and hence u do not need to thicken with starch solution, just need to let the sauce evaporate abit more

[@spicenpans]

👌👌👌 thanks, Amos!

[@foodlieungoctv2225]
