How a Thai Chef Cooks Crispy Pork Belly in 30 Mins!

[@ohana9756]

I just made this and followed your instructions. I too almost cried! Easiest and best pork belly dish I've ever made. Thank you for teaching us how to make this dish.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Great job!👏 So glad to hear!!!

[@soraya9800]

I wanna cry too! Must make it this week.

[@tv-21]

Ohh. I want to sell this!

[@stevewilson8752]

I don't want to cry ! I just want a chocolate Thickshake 🥤😂

[@Gainsforlife]

Try lechon kawali

[@heyitsmeurbrother]

Double fry doesn't only let the meat cool down, but allows excess moisture to steam off from the breading which would normally make the crust soggy over time. After the steam escapes, the second fry leaves you with something much more crunchy and crispy with much less chance of it deteriorating over time. This is the same concept in korean double fried chicken

[@Jaydaydesign]

Same principle Works the same for potato chips/french fries

[@seamusoflatcap]

It also lets the oil come back up to temperature quicker. As soon as the pork goes in the pan, the oil temperature drops. Another reason not to overcrowd the pan.

[@russparsons3130]

Can u use air fryer?

[@azenith9589]

Ok smarty

[@ralphthepolobear]

I love this Thai chef. She's has always been my favourite chef from Thailand. I've watched her videos since 2018.

[@oldgeek29577]

Fledgling Thai food cook here. I just made this exactly the way you show and it is AWESOME! I dont cook much but this is the best thing I have ever made! The sauce sends it over the top. I cant wait to try this sauce on one of my char grilled steaks. Thanks so much for your efforts.

[@SweetPea-s5k]

Is pork belly loaded with salt ?

[@ValTass14]

your joy in this video made me sooo happy - I can’t tell you how good it is for all your viewers to see a real life person eating and loving food purely for the taste

[@DT-uk7wy]

No one can take things for what they are. The entire point is to show you how to have this quick instead of waiting two days. Also not everyone eats the skin. If you don't like this method move on. Apparently it was not for you. Stop trying to be better than everyone else. It's pork fat ... not the end of the world. Thank you for the recipe AKA why I am here. Thank you for teaching. I appreciate your knowledge and expertise. It's a blessing to have a teacher. Sometimes the long way is best. Sometimes the short way is best. Thank you for teaching both ways.

[@energygal00]

@Pai , ironic I live in Bangkok but I have to watch you cook Thai food in Vancouver to learn how it’s done. It’s fun watching you eat the food and hearing the crisp ❤️ thanks

[@Luke.Cooking]

That fan trick is also awesome for cutting large amounts of onions

[@randmayfield5695]

I live in Thailand and my Thai family have this several times a week because it's an over all favorite. Because we live in a very small rural village with many family member families, most nights we all meet together at grandma's house to eat. Everybody brings something so there's always lots to choose from. Strangely enough, i was surprised that many recipes that require frying have milk added to the marinade. They use a Danish brand that comes in little boxes. For moo cobb this fish sauce, white pepper, sugar, and milk liquid is brushed on the pork as it starts to blister. The lactose appears to help in the browning process and their moo cobb has a beautiful golden color when done. Edit: i want to add that somtimes, especially when pan frying pork ribs, bone in, the addition of a sprinkle or two of Golden Mountain Seasoning is used. There is a slightly different flavor but a good one.

[@swayme67]

You are absolutely brilliant, and a joy to watch. THANK YOU for the content, and please keep these videos coming. It is a highlight of my day to see a new video from you. Take care!

[@tombrennan7673]

Thank you for explaining the 2nd fry method. I never really understood that but you explained how by doing so it maintains the juiciness of the meat

[@brucelee5576]

When you double fry it stays crispy for hours even a day in the fridge and it still stay crispy.

[@wolfman011000]

You can make chicharon with the skin, waste not want not. Thanks for the video looks like a real winner and for breakfast great idea, take care. God bless one and all.

[@rac2144]

Thanks! Love your videos 😊!

[@paulinewqi]

I just went to Thai restaurant and their fried chicken were exactly like your fried pork belly. The chef came to explain to me about the double frying method...👍👏👏 Thanks so much for sharing...💝🌟😋😋

[@windbreaker57]

I didnt know how much i needed to learn this until i see you making it! (Been doing it differently, skin on.) I'll try doing mine this way; certainly looks juicier. Thanks, Pai!

[@gracethomas827]

Me too. I'll try her way.

[@StacyK0731]

I made this last night and followed your recipe/technique to a T. I only wanted to make a small batch, just for me...and this was perfect in every way. Super crunchy, super tasty and so delicious!!!!! Thank you a million times over for sharing this with me/us. 🙂

[@jackieisbell7456]

Love the genuine FUN you had in telling " Secret quickie recipe " ! Looks so good , and did I mention I LOVE CRISPY PORK BELLY ! I like a sweet / spicy sauce with them ! Fan for life , can't wait to try this ! ❤ YUM ❤

[@darrenquirk2269]

That looks really good. The explanation for double frying is by far the clearest I've heard. Thank you 😀

[@tammyhasara8744]

I just made this last night! Heating the oil to the right temp is key. First batch oil was too hot so it browned really fast. Second batch was perfect. THIS will be my go to recipe! Thank you!

[@VicBattlefield]

Brilliant! I´ve waited my whole life for this recipe. Thank you maak maak krup!!!

[@Winterstick549]

I live in Thailand half time and love, I mean loveeee this stuff. Goes on a mound of rice topped with a cooked egg and stir fryed kale. Even the kake tastes good. Oyster and soy sauce really help jn the wok.

[@MelyndaVang2023]

Just get up and do it friends. I totally understand why some people just LOVE to watch and then never do it and say they are too lazy to do it. It is a real struggle. But when she makes the recipe so easy to follow, just get up, go buy some pork belly, follow her tutorial step by step and make it and enjoy it. JUST DO IT! Once you take a first step and do one recipe, you will make the biggest change of your life and start making it a habit of doing things and before long, you become a really amazing cook at home for you and your loved ones. You will thank yourself later, I promise. And the people you cook for will love you more too because they will get to enjoy your improved cooking skills.

What oil is best to use ?

As a lazy cook, I approve of this dish.

Was looking for something to do with some pork and stumbled upon this.Gave it a try as i had all the ingredients and it was amazing! It tasted really good - my partner and I finished the whole thing!! And it was so quick and easy to boot! All done by the time the rice cooker pinged. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation of dinner items. 😊

Will using Mochiko flour instead of AP flour change the amount of crispiness and sweetness of the pork belly? That belly looks very appetizing. Greetings from the SF Bay Area.

Im not gluten free but im just thinking could you use rice flour and corn starch in place of normal flour for a similar crunch? Non-Glutinous Rice flour often makes things very crunchy!

[@PailinsKitchen]

I find starches-only create a crust that is too light, so I like AP flour for a more substantial crunch.

So good! I just this following the recipe all the way to the double fried part with half of the recipe. The other half I put into the air fryer for the “double fried” part and it came pretty good still.

Is this what is sold in Walmart called Salt pork ? Used to flavor food. Is this the pork Belly ?❓❓

[@thastayapongsak4422]

​@@SweetPea-s5k If the pork is raw, unsalted, unprocessed, and not sliced, then I think it should be the same, or at least a similar cut of pork.

So I have my pork sitting quietly awaiting the second fry at dinner time! I've made the dipping sauce. Thought I ll add the spring onions and cilantro just before we eat...

Hi! She bought it in Thailand and brought it back, so no link :) Technically it's referred to as a "brass wok" when you search, and you can find them on Amazon but watch out, some of them are crazy expensive!

[@JimP226]

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed the skin wasn't part of the dish. 😢 Have you considered doing an air fryer version of your OG broiler pork belly recipe? I used your recipe for the stabbing and salting the skin, etc. 5-spice, white pepper, etc. 24hrs before. BUT did it in the air fryer. And I have to say it turned out better than most of the skin-on pork belly I ever had while living in Thailand. My method was 5x10cm pieces. Air fry @ 400f for 10 min on the bottom, then raised up 5cm onto a rack closer to the element for another 10min. Total time 30min including prep the day before.
