Mandy, YOU are THE best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have many, MANY supporters and fans of your recipes and excellent demonstrations of how to cook these excellent recipes. Thank YOU so much

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

You know when a recipe is right when a Chinese foodie friend sends you a link to a KZbin video and tells you this is the best way to make perfect pork belly with crispy skin. It’s amazing and has the perfect crunch. Never fails. Always tender, juicy, crunchy, delicious. 😍

[@johnmorrison7351]

Hi from Australia; thank you for the very clear instructions on this recipe. I made this today and it worked out 100% how you said it would - very few recipes do, so... awesome work, take a gold star! It was also said to be delicious even by my Chinese partner, and she is hard to impress food-wise, so overall an excellent outcome. Thanks Mandy, I will try some of the other recipes soon. Cheers

[@dawnmichelle4403]

I made this tonight for my husband. He must have thanked me half a dozen for making such "a fun meal."

[@shirleyhattingh2726]

We lived in China for 4 yrs, and this is one of our all-time favourite dishes. Since coming home - nobody has it, so I decided to learn to make it myself. Tonight my family is having a true Chinese dinner, with many authentic dishes and of course steamed rice! Appreciate this video so much! Thank you very much.

[@vishavee9194]

Mandy this video was amazing. You had so much detail that made the pork come out perfectly. My best friend is Chinese and she always makes this for me in her restaurant and I never knew how to make it at home the right way. Thank you so much 😊

[@johnsullivan5496]

I just love your recipes. Thank you so much for posting

[@tsamuels364]

My favourite recipe ever. This is the first time I had crackling without a lot of salt. This was so flavourful and juicy. You are amazing

[@bluelobster56]

Haha, it was great to see your 2nd video ever. You are a lot more polished and smooth now, but your character and your love to share your cooking were always there. Great work! 👍

[@anres1995]

This looks absolutely amazing!

[@jetporter]

I love this video. The instructions are clear and entertaining.

[@maem7636]

🌾. Thanks for the " highlighted " notation to my, prior, comment ; you , not only made my day, you were , on my heart, as I prepared our , main, meal today ! I cooked pork shoulder until it was crispy as your pork belly, then added sliced up, fresh onions, carrots, and turnips, then a quarter cup of pure orange juice to steam the vegetables with the pork, plus I cooked Egg Foo Yung, loaded with slices of green onions ( scallions ), and, for our " bread ", etc., I toasted flour tortillas ; ( LOL ) ! I am a widow and my sons, ages 25 and 19 complimented me on this delicious meal ! Oh; thanks for saying baking powder for when I do prepare the pork belly ! You are a gift from God to your viewers ! 🍃🍃 ✌. &. 👍👍👍

[@Alvinytt]

You are very therapeutic to watch and I like your articulation!

[@jinaforjesus]

[@steel186]

I am really enjoying your recipes and how well you give directions. I can’t always understand clearly when others explain recipes. Thank you for your hard work.

[@paula.m.4996]

In Philippines, we call it Lechon. We eat it with vinegar seasoned with pepper, salt, and chopped up garlic, or we eat it with this sweet/tangy brown sauce. There’s a lot of brands of the brown sauce, but I like the one by Lasap.

[@kipwilliam5593]

Very easy to understand & I have tried some of your recipes,,,, all came out perfect. Wishing you the best on your channel.

[@nicolesimon2027]

[@makeluvnotwar4255]

[@lordbyron3603]

You are so good. Your instructions are simple. Thank you.

[@Erika70079]

I made this today. The skin was a bit tough, I think it may have been thicker than the skin on your pork belly. I poked loads of holes and followed your recipe to the T. The flavour was delicious however. I also made milk tea with your homemade tapioca pearl recipe (squares). My Chinese homestay students approved! Thanks so much :)

[@drwhowhogrub3908]

Great video

Hi Mandy, I came across your videos only few weeks ago and finally took up the courage to do it coz all other video recipes are so complicated. So happy that I was successful with my first try! My family said it was so delicious. The meat was juicy, tender and the seasoning was just so right. Not salty as compared to store bought. Now my sister is requesting for char siu which I'm going to make tomorrow.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

The recipe and simple steps are in the description. Hope you enjoy my recipes. comment me if you have any questions.

I love this, I don't remember exactly when I subbed, but seeing this video from so early on is so humble. I love your cooking and hope to be able to try more recipes soon

[@RandyHartono]

Very good idea using baking powder.. Thanks

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

My pleasure. Glad you like it.

[@andyjessica1749]

U only use baking powder but no vinegar and salt needed right?

[@RandyHartono]

Andy Lu no vinegar if backing powder applied. Salt a little bit...

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

I use baking powder and salt=) No vinegar.

[@andyjessica1749]

If i have leftover, how can i reheat it and is the skin still crispy?

[@Darswar4]

Omg your hair is beautiful!

Polite, clean, very clear explaining, subscribed!

[@karenchan3964]

I tried your recipe and it came out really delicious. Following your recipe was very simple and easy to make. Thank you for your video. It was well done.

[@lIlIANONYMOUSIlIl]

To tell you the truth, from time to time I watch cooking videos. I just happened to follow a recommended video to get here. It seems that you have an interest and desire to grow your channel here. So I subscribed to help you grow.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thank you for subscribing and motivating me keep going. I do take this really serious and putting my heart in it. =)

[@lIlIANONYMOUSIlIl]

The best advice I could give is to just be consistent with content. There is also either KZbin live or Twitch.tv, if you wanted to branch out and do live stuff on the side.

[@brendandenney]

I made this yesterday and it was awesome. I would love it if you posted simplified directions with the ingredients, I ended up watching parts of the video several times to get times or directions.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Hey, glad to hear that yours came out amazing. Thanks for the advice, will keed that in mind and put directions in the end next time =)

[@MaZEEZaM]

The directions and ingredients are also in the description.

[@_Thats_Right]

This was the first video I saw from you back in 2017. You've helped my cooking skills significantly. Still subscribed. Keep up the good work!

[@AshA-mw3xl]

This was an amazing video. Very good information and demonstration.

[@HeRulesAlways]

I have a craving for crispy pork belly but only the Filipino restaurants in Canada serve it where I live. This is how I found your channel as I figured I would try to make it. Thanks for the recipe.

[@andyjessica1749]

Thank you very much for your secret tip. My pork's skin came out super crunchy and not chewy. Only few areas still were chewy and not crunchy might be because it was not evenly well cooked. I hope i can subscribe more than one for you. Thank you again.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thanks for sharing your results with me. That is very nice=)

[@MyTonychen]

So far you have been great in your videos, your recipe for the crispy pork is the most outstanding because of your method to scald the pork belly before applying the seasoning, and using baking powder to enhance the crispy ness of the skin.. I have torn up all my other recipes...... Thank you.......

[@popazz1]

Wonderful, so simple with very clear instructions to follow. Now I can use the pork belly I have in my freezer to recreate this recipe with confidence. Thank you. x
