Hong Shao Rou Recipe (红烧肉)

[@Neerepha]

There are many channels with Chinese recipes, but I only watch yours because you take the time to actually study the dish and explain the science behind it. That's how you truly teach cooking.

[@johnhopper7509]

I agree. Even the text and supporting info is carefully done and thorough. Once I asked her about flour for noodles and got the same careful accurate answer. So refreshing and rare these days. I'm a fan.

[@antonboludo8886]

Absolutely. She explains things very clearly. I have made a few of her recipes. They all turned out well.

[@Neerepha]

If I may suggest, The Joy of Baking (US/Canadian recipes) and Turkish Food Travel channels have very similar approaches. The ladies there try to give you as much information as they can while cooking.

[@Bear-cm1vl]

Mandy does a great job. There is also a YT channel called Chinese Cooking Demystified who tends to give a good overview of the technique and a little history of the dish. These two channels make for most of my Chinese cooking viewing now.

[@rg20322]

Absolutely!!!

[@armandorjusino]

Skin down, plate on top ... Her loving personality, impressive tips, marvelous explanation and that plating at the end, what an awesome cooking channel, thank you!

[@NickiJay88]

I usually do not leave comments, but I had to for this recipe. My family and I just finished eating this meal today. I was very hesitant at first because it was my first time cooking this meal, and it took some time for me to cook. However, it was well worth the effort! I followed the recipe down to the "T." When I served it for dinner, I was worried that my picky eater extremist children would hate it, but I was absolutely shocked when they devoured this meal. Everyone loved it! It was so delicious and flavorful. My picky eaters asked for more, and my husband said to make a bigger portion next time, and he also wanted me to make it spicier. Thank you so much for this recipe!

765K subscribers does not do this channel justice. Should be in the many millions, one of the best cooking channels on You Tube. I like how you get straight into the subject and make it very easy to follow. Loving Asian food helps of course, but who doesn`t love Asian food.

[@msgypsyqueen]

One of my favourite things about you, is that you share your shortcomings - you over- reduced the sauce. By sharing that, it makes you a better teacher, and us - better students. You’re the best! 🤓👍❤️

[@jeneeesaisquoi]

I'm Chinese, grew up eating authentic Chinese food, also have Chinese parents whose only method of teaching cooking is by saying "add a little bit of this, a little bit of that" - (do you feel my frustration??) - AND I cannot read or write Chinese, so it's hard for me to find authentic Chinese recipes to cook with. LOL. Mandy's channel is the answer to all of my cooking prayers!! 😂 Thank you Mandy for the amazing recipes and for the additional educational information that you teach us!

[@jelom4686]

I went to the comment to say how much I liked the way she explained things, and to my delight I see a lot of others who already said the same. The way she explained things are thorough and has a lot of consideration. I subscribed.

[@danielyang8573]

I grew up in Taiwan but left when I was young. I miss all those dishes my Grandma used to make but of course I was too young to know how. Your recipes allow me to make them for myself now and also enable me to reconnect to my youth. Thank you!!!

[@Imbadatnames1111]

I just tried this recipe today but in a pressure cooker and OH MY GOD it was amazing

[@007JNR]

I had this in Bangkok about 4 weeks ago. Wouldn't normally eat pork belly with such soft skin but it was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted . Literally melts in your mouth. was so good.

[@karengrace6890]

This is my favorite chinese cooking channel.

[@ruftime]

Thank you for putting the complete recipe in the description. Love your Sesame Chicken recipe, my family is so happy. My favorite new cooking channel!

[@e.h.332]

You’re truly an amazing cook. Your personally and kindness shows. Thank you. Been following you since a few years back and seen how much you’ve flourished. Take care and keep going!

[@peonieslilacs112]

My hubby and I are leaving Fl and moving North to a much colder state. I'm so looking forward to making this during the Winter months.

[@blancaleon1653]

I love your channel. I appreciate the time you put into it, and it is a LOT!!! You explain very well your recipes, the science, and the history. Each recipe is a cultural lesson, and the printing is great, the format saves a lot of paper. I print copies for my adult children, one boy and two girls, and all three love to cook, so I'm putting together a binder for each one of them with your recipes, we all love Chinese cuisine. I have been buying some of your products for my daughters' household and for my use. My son will inherit mine :) Thank you so much!!!

[@markbryant2012]

GREAT!! I live in Melbourne, Australia. Over the last decade or so there has been a bit of a cultural revolution with the old style Australian/Chinese restaurants being replaced with more traditional style Chinese. This pork dish is fantastic and I always choose it when dining out. I've been wondering how to make it. A very simple recipe!! Thanks a lot! I've made quite a few of your recipes and they are fantastic. Excellent Channel.

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I like that trick of using the plate to keep things submerged while braising, I do that too! Looks like I truly delicious pork belly

[@Marg1312]

My whole family _braises_ this dish as their absolute favorite!

Thanks for this great instructional video and the detailed recipe in the description!! Much appreciated!!

[@andreasschuldei9033]

your videos are truely pricture perfect. They are compositions of color and motion. really well done, both on the filming and the arrangement and preparation.

[@AndoughPanda]

I tried this recipe and it was absolutely DIVINE. So delicious!!! Thank you for making it so easy to follow, explaining why we do each step. Definitely boosted my confidence in trying to cook this dish for my first time, and it didn't disappoint.

[@dansklrvids7303]

Good grief that looks gorgeous - great video!

[@RaymondNok]

I do hope you have a cook book. The recipes are simple to follow. No fuss, just pure tradition.💖

[@timcent7199]

Here's my tip, instead of adding extra salt or sugar to the already cooked pork which could break the meat, take a cup of the broth from the pan and dissolve the condiments in that. Then pour the liquid on top. You won't need to stir as much and the pork pieces stay safe and whole.

Perfect for when it's depressing cold weather outside.

[@Mypoint965]

I just cooked this. when I try a recipe I cook it exactly as explained then adjust it where I think necessary. No adjustment needed. This was delicious and came out perfect the first time. This dish will now become a regular in my house. Zero complaints and lots of oooh's and arrr's.

[@zackwasteland8970]

[@alexanderhans3266]

That's a wonderful meal she prepared. Do you keep up with exercise to balance a healthy lifestyle despite having such excellent meals (which are rich in cholesterol)?

[@ProphetReviews]

I use this channell as a very good base to lots of Asian cooking

[@susieangelo6410]

Thank you Mandy for this easy and delicious recipe for this perfect season. Stay safe.

[@dewbiedew]

Thanks for this recipe! I've fond memories of this dish with my family and even friends! I've been thinking of trying to do this dish. I enjoyed the tips like not to remove too much fat when searing it, so it doesn't dry out and even how to cut it so you end up with square pieces. One thing that did surprise me was that your recipe didn't call for dark soy sauce, which I always thought would be a dish like this! Thanks again for the great recipes!

[@shannonrobinson262]

I have some ribs that need cooking. Yummy. I’ve made braised pork belly before. I love this with the Choi and rice. It’s a wonderful cold weather dish. Your recipe looks wonderful. Thank you
