I just cooked this today and all I got to say is IT IS A MUST TRY. Very flavorful. Super crunchy skin with a melty salty fat. It isn't too salty; it is the right amount. This is way better than buying in stores. Minor change I did was instead of leaving it for 12 hours, I left it for two days and cooked it for about 10 minutes more with the salt. Thank you Mike for the easy and fun tutorial! Appreciate it and will try more of your cooking soon! ❤️🙏🏼
I followed everything except for the wait 12 - 24 hours part. I placed it in my fridge and waited only 1 hour, after that, I did everything he said as per normal and it still came out delicious. The skin crackled well and crisped in my mouth, you couldn't tell the difference. Unless you're really particular about the puffness of the skin, you don't have to wait over 12 hours. Chances are we want to eat it today, and it's still delicious nevertheless.
So based off of other recipes I’ve looked at the main reason you’re “supposed to wait” is to marinate the meat where you brush the mixture on! It’s still delicious without the waiting on the marinade and you’re right it does still get just as crispy!
I did the same as John, impatient and have to say I didn’t even wait the hour, hahaha, it was delicious! Didn’t have 5 spice so used complete seasoning by badia and it was fantastic, mmmm . I am literally making it again as I am typing this note. Happy Thanksgiving to all
@theeTiaLor Heh, didn't know that. Been watching him cook for a long time now. I might actually have seen videos from the other channels but never noticed it being different.
I have spiced up my pork belly now its sitting in the fridge for a night.I can't wait to eat it tomorrow. I am sure it's going to taste yummiliciuos. Thank you!! 🙏😘
This looks amazing. I got my slab of pork belly marinating and drying in the fridge as I type this! Can't wait to pop it in the oven!! Edit: MY GOODNESS. This was the BEST crispy skin pork I've ever eaten!!! 😭 It's SOO JUICY and the flavor is PERFECT. And the skin is CRIPSY. This is like 10x better than even the ones they sell at the Asian markets in China towns. Woooooww
Mike - We followed your recipe today and it turned out amazing!! Thanks for the video. I've always thought this is a super difficult dish. It's truly shockingly easy.
Omg I follow ur receipe my porc it comes out so juicy et crispy !! I wish I could send the picture here to show how much it comes out really good from the oven. I'll go buy no more at the store !! Homemade is hundred time better !! So happy thank you 😁 !
Tried this twice and it worked perfectly!. It really is important to get all the water out of the skin or else you just get a surface crisp, not the bubbly crunchy stuff like in this video.
Hay, cheer up. Everything is not so terrible So horrible So, so,so... Well smiles for miles please. Life is what you make it so put on a happy face and enjoy life before it's to late 😃 😃 😃!!!
Thanks for this video! The BEST pork belly I have ever eaten! I only let is rest for 8.5 hours prepared in morning cause I was impatient and couldn't wait. But it was already so good! The skin was sooo crispy and meat soo juicy!
Im marinating my pork belly as you speak following your instructions.Tomorrow I will take it out and continue the process.I'm Cuban,and we love pork. I subscribed to your channel. Thank You.Can't wait.
I have watched you for the longest time and followed you on your journey trying different foods all around the world and now you're making you're own foods!...so exciting! I absolutely adore your work and how real you keep it with all of your criticisms towards every foods that you try...You're awesome Mikey and I love what you do! This looks absolutely delicious and pretty easy to make as well...might have to try it out in one of my future Mukbangs and shout you out!
Made this last night. Great flavour, thank you, The only thing i would mention is that everyones broiling is going to be different dependent on oven. So be careful not to burn the crackling.
couple of additional tips: i) i prefer a longer cook with the salt crust so that the meat really turns super soft. ii) when poking the skin, preferably dont use wooden sticks cause after a while they will start splinting and may be all over ur pork skin.
OMG THE BEST FIND ! Your cooking channel!!! YAYYYYYYY !!!!! Im more excited about finding your cooking channel over this video content, but i am HERE for that pork belly recipe
Just finished eating the first batch of crispy pork belly. It was delicious but I didn't quite get the crust as crispy as yours and my salt crust didn't come off as easily (there were some remnant salt crystals on the top). I think my pork wasn't as dry coming out of the fridge (I waited 24 hrs)... The flavour was PERFECT though. I will try it again very soon but will let the skin crisp up a little longer and make sure to wipe off the salt more carefully. Served with Hoisin Sauce and eaten with plain white rice and steamed broccoli.... It was a dinner hit! THANKS SO MUCH MIKEY! I am going to try some of your other recipes too!
Are you a mind reader? A few months back a friend made pork belly and it was awful. So I told them that I would try and find out how to make it better. This is what I needed.
In the Phillipines we call it chicharron when it’s just the pork skin fried. And eat it like chips. Are you saying in Colombia you call it chicharron when it is the entire pork belly? Because if so that is a culture shock for me
I adore your show MIKE!!! I am from Boston and have gone to school here. I always look forward to your videos and love to eat the spiciest Chinese food i can. Do you have any Boston Chinatown suggestions for BBQ and fun spicy food?
OMG!! I just made this over the last two days. It came out PERFECT!!!!!! It was the Hit of our Un Traditional Thanksgiving. Not much is left but what is will be fried up with potatoes and eggs in the morning. Thank you Mikey!!!!
Yeey ! Papa Mike is helping us make simple and JUICY AND CRISPY AND WONDERFUL food at home since everything’s closed :3 Thank You Mike ! Every country in south east asia has it’s own version of this dish, i can see a good bagnet when i see one !
Thanks for this! I always wondered why there was such a huge difference in the texture of Chinese roast pork and filipino lechon... It makes sense now! :)

So happy you officially made a cooking channel now!! That is so perfect because now we have a place to go specifically for cooking from you, versus searching through different videos in Strictly Dumpling, i still remember i first watched your cooking with tomato egg in strictly dumpling and wished you had a channel specifically for cooking, and now here you are!! Thank you!!
Been trying to make this the past week and failed every time lol then I realized my wife was getting it skinless🤦♂️ Getting some more today skin on and making this childhood favorite the right way 🤤
Omg how dare you. That looks like a food dream!!!! But thanks for the recipe and techniques to try it myself one day!! Please collab with Peggie Neo in Singapore one day!!
@@kcsunshine7408 That's the same gusto I had when I did it. I did a char siu video, so it made sense for me to do a roast pork video. All I need to figure out now is the roast duck to finish my Chinese bbq trifecta. But according to my wife, all my attempts at it have sucked so just stick to those 2...
Meats needing to rest for tenderness is more for lean meats. This should be pork belly which has extremely heavy marbling on the meat side. It's still tender. I eat this all the time. I just never knew how to make it
Whenever we try this at home we always fail because the skin either too chewy or too hard, its never as crispy as in the restaurant. I havent tried it with the salt crust tho, maybe that will make the difference.
What a surprise to find this channel when I've been watching strictly dumpling for a long time. Love Mikey, just didn't know he also had a cooking channel.
I used to watch your channel a lot, then got kind of burned out. I fast for 7 days every quarter, and at some point, it became a ritual to come back to this channel to eat vicariously. It's been a quarter. Day 2/7.
Add steaming hot rice, a bit of kailan + pakchoy in oyster sauce, perfect lunch

weird cut at the end but, the food looks SO GOOD!
The crispy roast pork belly is incredible. And that crispy skin is better than potato chips.
we do it here in Colombia. It is called chicharrón and it goes in a traditional dish called badeja paisa!
In the Phillipines we call it chicharron when it’s just the pork skin fried. And eat it like chips. Are you saying in Colombia you call it chicharron when it is the entire pork belly? Because if so that is a culture shock for me
@@LWLmantheminecrafter the chicharron in Colombia is the skin, grease and meat of the pork belly. We usually fry it in strips.
@cooking with mikey may i ask you something ,did you blanch the pork first before you poke it? thanks
I'm sort of dying to adjust his apron a bit, but it looks so yum
I didn't even notice, now it bothers me that its over the collar and the neck isn't as tight as it should be 😅

Please check the audio levels on the uploads, Mike :) This was well below. Had to crank up my speakers to max.
My volume was on low and I could hear him clearly.
So glad I’ve found your channel
Shouldn't you let the meat rest after it's coming out of the oven before cutting?
Fernandez-V at 10:55 he said that it is supposed to be served right away or else the skin gets hard and not crunchy
Meats needing to rest for tenderness is more for lean meats. This should be pork belly which has extremely heavy marbling on the meat side. It's still tender. I eat this all the time. I just never knew how to make it
So good! Tried it and it worked!!! Thank you!
Am I the only one who think that this guy looks like jacky chan 😅

The 22 seconds on the microwave is bugging me lol...
Why?
@@Koji-888 I thought he meant him using the microwave in general lol not the time on it
same lol
Why did u point that ouutttt
It works well. Many people use air fryers, crockpot and so on, basically we no longer require wood and fire to cook, bake, fry or ferment
Whenever we try this at home we always fail because the skin either too chewy or too hard, its never as crispy as in the restaurant. I havent tried it with the salt crust tho, maybe that will make the difference.
I have been wondering that too. These RUclipsrs' chefs never revealed the truth. They are a bunch of liers!
Hi! did you boil the pork before roasted it. Thanks
You’re like the Jacky Chan of RUclips😂
Loved the presentation of this recipe so much?.. I liked and subscribed…
Regarding the end part of the video, I want to say th--
Mouth watering...delicious cant wait to make this!!! Thanks Mikey!!!
Make a dipping sauce of light soy sauce, dripping from the pan, sesame oil and a little Tabasco to go with it
Idk, this guy looks pretty similar to Jackie Chan, never seem someone to look alike like him to jackie
He's Jackie Chan's son.
Just come to china, prefer to wuhan, nd you will see everyone is a jackie chan
