Village Life in China - INSANE Twice Cooked Pork (Will AUNTY Approve???)

[@thefoodranger]

What's up guys!! I hope you enjoy the video! Are you liking this new series? I'm having so much fun making these recipe videos for you, I hope you like them! Thanks so much for watching!

[@MrSimonj1970]

Love it Trevor, it's such a good idea to do an in-depth look at one region, and always a pleasure to hang out with you, kinda!

[@parassoni102]

It was lovely, although I must say, that midway through, I did think that you must ALWAYS cook on high heat on a wok, that's the basic for ANY kind of wok dish, which stuns the protein and gives it the elusive wok hei.. Both dishes looked great though, and yeah wok cooking is all about hands and confidence, we occasional cooks (counting me in too)stand exposed..

[@khandanishkhan]

Lots of love brother. Keep following your dreams!

[@friederichnietzsch]

Loving it, you should speak more Chinese in the vids!

[@904ross]

Videos are awesome and it's great having her to share her lifetime of cooking with you. I wonder how chicken would taste with the same bean paste seasoning. I've used some cooking before but didn't really know how to use it.

[@sonic-factory]

I love how Trevor is constantly seeking approval from Aunty 🤩

[@roycovington5600]

It's so cool that you do this series, I can already see you getting more confident in your skills

[@NoelChiaYY92]

I love aunty so much! She is constantly watching over what you do and tries her best to help you. Bless her

[@smbk86]

So that he doesn't burn down her house 😂 lol. Just kidding

[@fiendangelical2575]

I feel like being able to cook your own typical Sichuan dishes is a great next step for you as a Food Ranger. Being involved in the cooking process rather than being on the sidelines. Im impressed with your progress 🙂👍

[@vefge]

Super wholesome video - definitely brightened my day a little. Happy to see you try something new!

[@JohnLucasJunior]

I'm loving this series. It's great to see 2 variations of the same dish cooked. Both looked delicious.

[@aL3891_]

You should make an aunty rating system to score your efforts 😅

[@ritacsenyi745]

Absolutely LOVE the new village set-up!!! 😍 And so happy for you ❤ Cant wait for all the amazing cookings and dishes here!!!!! 🙌

[@-k.e.a3622]

I'm glad you're doing the things you love Trevor, cool video

[@woojejang1462]

Aunty is a great cameo! She is humble and nice. Love what you two have been doing together and I hope that this relationship last many years to come! Thank you food ranger and aunty!!!

[@purplestingstress]

It's such a pleasure to watch you while you are following your dreams... I love these videos! Thank you for sharing your world with us. 🤗

[@JohnAquino-sh5ud]

Trevor - I absolutely love the new series. Auntie is awesome and you “ROCK THE WOK”. I will wait for the next video I just bought a brand new wok and I will be trying to replicate what you are doing. You have turned into my cooking instructor. I’m off to the store to buy Pork Belly!!!!!

[@dirtblueguitar]

I am love love LOVING! your new format Trevor. I had no idea, all these years, that you were interested in cooking! I thought you were only an 'eater/reviewer.' This is such a cool angle and way to show off your selected dishes to cook. I learn a lot, while I get to watch everyone enjoy your creations. It's really fun!! ❤ 😊

[@kennyg-888]

That Sichuan twice cooked pork with a bowl of steamed jasmin rice is one of my all time favourite dishes.😋

[@andreabgc4442]

Loved how the dog and cat came for a smell when the pork was frying!

[@janevanskike2101]

I had to quit work in 2017 and it's been fun to Watch your videos. I'm really enjoying these teaching videos.

[@KimJayViet]

I love this new series. I love we get to see you at the market to pick out all the ingredients. I now know what broad bean paste is and to look out for it in my local Chinese grocer. And I also love seeing how Auntie doesn't make you want to "lose face" by saying yours is better. That's very typical of the culture and you seem to understand that very well. I love wokhei and I hope you can achieve that with the gas wok.

[@SherryW-sn1dk]

I am chasing this series now seriously. Waiting for updates every week!

[@Hoo88846]

From eating Chinese food and savoring Chinese food to becoming a Chinese chef, way to go, Trevor. ❤❤❤ Greetings from a Cantonese Chinese American in Los Angeles. Keep up the good works 🎉🎉🎉

[@danleighton]

Very enjoyable content Trevor. I think the contrast of watching your, forgive me, less experienced deliberation, versus Aunty’s confident speed is fascinating. Her dishes seem to be less complex with fewer seasonings compared to yours. But…she makes up for it with the confidence to cook on the fiercest heat and deliver on that wok hei. She is a wonderful character. I think you struck lucky there! I am really enjoying this series. I agree you need a tiiiny bit more light inside. But not too much! Overall, excellent. And a real treat to see a KZbinr being brave enough to move away from their same old, same old format. So pleased to see you recapturing your mojo :-)

[@jastmaster10]

This is great new content. ❤ Glad to have you back!

[@jmiz7860]

love this. so authentic and satisfying

[@ryanshipwreck]

Watching this is making me crave for twice cooked pork. One of my top 5 favorite Sichuan dishes and top ten Chinese dishes overall. Simple but it’s a dish that packs your mouth with so flavor. Great Job @thefoodranger ❤️

[@tombstonefpv9053]

I'm really enjoying this series. I can see you getting more comfortable with each dish. Looking forward to what's next.

[@Arrowsmith86]

I love this series. I love watching Trevor develop his skills and then observing how Auntie cooks. Awesome, please keep this up!

[@shawnxu2072]

loving it! you are living a good life man! Happy for you!

[@mrcool8194]

auntie makes everything so simple. Nice

[@yinchim3647]

Trevor thank you for the cooking videos, they are getting better each time, keep up the great work.

[@MLGandre]

Huge fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@nursultantulyakbaycats]

Love this new direction you went in

[@shination3846]

This is awesome. Can't wait to see more.

[@brennanwallin1270]

I love this new format, cooking outside, going to the market for fresh ingredients. Super job Trevor!!

[@rinrat6754]

The two of you present a perspective on food that is really new. What delightful people, and the simple and obviously delicious food is wonderful.

[@greganixter7352]

Great series and very enjoyable. I like everything about it

[@drewschneider7045]

My wife and I have been loving this new series! Great work and will be making this dish soon!!

[@christopherkey2693]

Man… I can’t wait for Saturdays to watch you cook and become the next Chef of Choice that everyone has to watch. Keep that wok hot for next Saturday…….love you bro. CK1

[@OrionSYoung]

I love this series, you two make a great team.

[@Maxშემიწყალე]

I really love that you're back in China again!

[@dennyzeecko5183]

she's really good and fast. I like this format with both of you cooking together. You can tell the experience she has, but she is very supportive of you're cooking. Great job.Thanks for the Video

[@diddymac]

Aunty is the best teacher you can wish for, good work.

[@Glenpollard76]

Great crossover brother. Love the new content. its a W for sure. Trevor GOAT

[@ellomate..]

my favourite food show on youtube. thanks trev

[@jonathanw1740]

Both look great, loving this series! :D

[@Game_Changer_00]

An important lesson learned today, you can sharpen knives with the clay bowl's bottom. The food looked great too today, agreed with Auntie Yang method, more flare and wok hay. great video Trevor

[@ruike-anders]

Loving this new format. I can tell you really are enjoying studying.

[@50654570]

Thank you so much Trevor for the Video. This is COMPLETELY Authentic. The doubanjiang from Pixian, near Chengdu (陴縣豆辯醬) is an absolute must. It tastes very different from the ordinary doubanjiang found in popular supermarkets. So look for this if you're serious!

[@scotttan6377]

Auntie Yang Ayi always giving encouragement and at the ready to give Trevor a helping hand.

[@cherrymetha3185]

I have that exact make of black bean and chilli sauce ! It’s amazing ! A real game changer to any Chinese dish

[@ThePearson1945]

I love ❤️ the new theme of the channel - You really have a wonderful neighbour and landlord!! Keep it up ❤

[@carlosgoncalves4125]

Keep up the wonderful work with your food vlog Trevor, really enjoying it. All the best to you and your lovely wife Ting Ting.

[@sgraham005]

Really like that you and Aunty make the same but different !

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

[@pcharliep61]

Another nice video Trevor, I look forward to seeing what is coming up next . Keep the market shopping going 👍👍👍👍

[@estevenlee]

so happy to see you living your DREAM!!

[@radmn3710]

Aunty is the best, she so humble

[@janevanskike2101]

What a wonderful neighbor to have!

[@SherryW-sn1dk]

you can learn so much from Yang Aiyi! That's precious hands on experience!

[@zulu8076]

Love your videos watching from germany❤

[@TimK2646]

So informative and so delicious at the same time. Thanks. What a beautiful setting. I see you are fast approaching 6M subscribers.

[@BearPapa49]

Super quality Chinese food . Your so lucky

[@AliviaDeHavilland]

Can't wait to try this Trevor of course getting the cut of pork I bought a tenderloin and made 6 meals. We are excited to try this, thank you.

[@nananoni5497]

It’s so great of u! The dish looks severely delicious 😊

[@victorallen2702]

Keep it up. Thanks for your sharing.

[@JB-bs6ll]

I swear.. if Trevor says "deep in the village" one more time...

[@jacobschweitzer1068]

That dish looks delicious 😋 and aromatic❤

[@tobyreynold6018]

写个留言只是想让你知道，你还是有中国粉丝的，看到你这个新系列的节目表示非常的赞，期待更多做菜的视频！Just wanted to drop a note to let you know that you still have fans in China. Seeing your new series, I am extremely impressed and looking forward to more cooking videos!😍

[@JessieC-op1tb]

I love your videos! This new series is such a joy to watch

[@CurtisZondag]

I love this series

[@AnyKeyLady]

Wow Trevor really loving these new style videos! (I loved your old style too but great to see you back!). So is the "Aunty" Lady teaching/ mentoring you? Garlic chives are just garlic that is picked early in spring before it creates it's own bulb of cloves. If you just want garlic chives just bulb a whole bulb. If you want stronger normal garlic just separate leaving the paper skin on the cloves. For hard neck (cooler climates that is stronger in flavour and has a scape) plant in late autumn. For soft neck (more mild for warmer climates), you may need to store in the fridge for at least 6 weeks before planting, either in lat autumn or spring, depending on you climate. I am British born Londoner and love making twice cooked pork belly. Our pork belly strips in the shop are about an 1 thick/2.5cm, trimmed and are about 6inches/15 cms long. I like to cut them into 1 inch pieces. I do a long simmer of homemade chicken stock, garlic, ginger and 5 spice. I save the broth for noodle/ ramen soups with sweetcorn. Interesting to see those ingredients. Not sure if we can get hold of them here but i do you dark soy sauce as a substitution. Not sure if we have MSG still here and have never tasted it on it's own so don't know what flavour profile it has. You need to leave to pork or any meat to rest to relax the fibres so it retains the moisture content and so it isn't so tough/rubbery. If you score the top skin layer of pork, belly, bacon, it doesn't curl so much and it can crisp up nicer too from the fat layer than renders off more. You will be a pro once you have mastered the old kitchen. It's like learning any new kitchen cooker stove oven really. You can do this Trevor! The style i do is more dark and sticky with dark soy, brown sugar and spices, no msg and then toasted sesame seeds. I like to pick my veg, etc from the garden when the meat is resting. I also like to get the egg fried rice started for hubby to take over. I like to watch different styles of fried rice and so glad i am not off on how you guys make it! I might try this different style with what we can get hold of. I usually use rice rice vinegar but i guess a mix of red wine vinegar would help. Is it fermented broad bean paste rather than fermented soy bean? Thanks Trevor, Ting and family! Best wishes and take care!

[@studio95951]

Excellent cooking by both. Looks delicious and very flavorful. Waiting for more Trevor. Nice video work by Ting. 📷🎥

[@AussieAngeS]

Looks fantastic I love the new videos Trevor 😊

[@andrew.nicholson]

The new videos are awesome. Love it!

[@Lelz_belz]

Trevor, you never disappointe with your vids! I've been watching you for a long time. I love the new series but I thought it would be nice to bring back the Food Ranger rating system to rate the food you are cooking! Love from your homeland! 🇨🇦

[@Phuschia1]

Another great chinese dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@CarolYvanovich]

I loved this video!! Yang Ai is so great!!!

Fantastic video! Now I want to try 回锅肉 myself. Love the new channel look!

[@moh8238]

It's very nice that you're making deep food deep in the Sichuan. We have to go back to what you're good with is making food reviews.

[@TheHonestFoodTeller]

Trevor cooking is a whole new level, I must admit :)

[@mossassin06]

Can’t wait for the Dan Dan noodles!!! 🤤

[@percysjohnsonmwapemukubwe.3705]

Loving this video.. thank you for the yammy food.❤

[@MrSchtickyrice]

Fresh green garlic! I wish they would start selling this in North America. I can only make authentic double cooked pork just a few time a year with green garlic from my own garden😅

[@ubcTech]

So delicious! I almost can smell it! Nice job!!!

[@chriscalon8913]

Loved this episode Trevor. Great job. I have all that stuff in my cupboard so I'm going to try making this. I think I would add some szechaun peppercorns to give it the mala numbing sensation. But that is personal preference :)

[@ecalleros1]

ohhhh my god it looks amazing 1:32Am and im so hungry. both of you are the best. best wishes ranger love your team.

[@angelbellhermano-gg2dk]

The local dish looks delicious, you makes me feel hungry and crave for Chinese cuisines. Love and enjoy watching your cooking videos. You're a good cook too, aside from vlogger. You're very fluent in Chinese language, youre very smart. When will you visit my beautiful country Philippines? Im excited to see you make videos about my country. Im a big fan of yours. ❤️🇵🇭

[@ricklarouche4105]

Need more lighting in the wood fired kitchen..😢. Love the new digs.. maybe a walk around the neighborhood.. see who raises the pigs, growing garlic chives, etc..love the new series. ❤

[@angelbellhermano-gg2dk]

Very nice and interesting video! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Im anticipating for you to visit my country Philippines.🇵🇭
