[@barnabas979]

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.

[@barnabas979]

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?

"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

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.

[@oliverhall8166]

Glen & Friends Cooking I will try thank you.

[@handcannon1388]

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.

[@oliverhall8166]

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.

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".
