My wife cooked this for dinner tonight following this recipe. She's Japanese, and she didn't have any issues with the authenticity of it unlike some people commenting here. Delicious,
Hello there Jeremy. A german pro Chef here. In my 20 Years of cooking i've learned a lot about european Cuisine and fell in Love with asian Dishes, specially the japanese. It was a japanese Friend who taught me to make Gyūdon and Shoyu Ramen. My Chāshū is really good, but i've tried your Recipe and it is through the Roof! Thank you so much for sharing it. I've added some Chili and Garlic for a spicy Spin but that's it. Very delicious. Have a great Day!
one of those food that people try guess how it is being made just by looking at the end product, but in the end created something totally different than origin.
Good tip on removing the skin before frying up the pork belly. I got quite burned by exploding hot oil bubbles the last time I tried to make braised pork belly, skin and all. I've always wondered how chefs do it without having hot oil flying around the kitchen.
You may wanna retitle this video is more like a chinese style char siu than what most people think of japanese chashu which is the rolled up pork belly sliced
This looks incredible. Question: I'm in a household that doesn't eat pork. What should I do if I wanted to replace the meat with chicken or even turkey? I'd imagine beef wouldn't be too dissimilar in terms of cooking time, but, obviously, would have nowhere near the same flavour.
We tried it with beef and it worked well. Bought a small roasting joint, broke it down to 4 pieces and there was enough to go around a family of four and enough slices left for Ramen the next day. Great recipe :)
This looks great, has the fat been trimmed? It looks somewhat less fatty than the strips you would get at a supermarket or piece from a butcher, just wanna make it right,salivating right now :D, thanks
As usual, chashu is awesome, but very different from the char siu on which it is based. Kind of like how tonkatsu is based on, but not very much like wiener schnitzel. (I'm half Japanese.)
it really feels more like Chinese style than Japanese style, especially with the glaze at the end. I think you've actually brought Japanese cha-shu a bit closer back to the original Chinese version lol
He reminds me of a more chill Asian Gordon Ramsey. Asians, if you're gonna learn English, this is the way to do it. I'm American and the modern day "accent" or whatever you want to call it that most Americans have is like an assault on my ears.
Char siu is Cantonese, not “Japanese”. Char = fork. Siu = barbecued. It’s a Cantonese dish stolen during the Edo Period of Japan when a lot of Chinese , especially Cantonese and Shanghainese immigrants when to Japan, especially Yokohama’s Chinatown. Please stop cultural plagiarism. #noculturalplagiarism
@@XiangUK Occasionally checking on it is the same thing as standing in front of it. Just toss the meat in a pot of soy mixture and be done with it. This might be tastier, but it's not practical.
Yeah it’s pretty easy, we filmed 2 other videos while it was cooking and it got stirred once or twice in that time. Once it’s on the low heat you can watch a film or do anything else for 2 hours and give it a stir if you go into the kitchen for a drink or any other reason! - Lee
It is, It was adapted like curry in other countries but made for the local pallet. Ramen was introduced too Japan from China years ago, but not the Modern Ramen known these days. Chashu was introduced too the dish but made with a more Japanese taste. Like Chef said it not Sweet like Chinese Chashu so it is a Japanese Chashu.

excellent (and I can imagine very tasty) as always
Thank you! - Lee
Going to try this with some seitan as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the igf-1 in meat---thanks for posting
Would be interesting to see how it works with seitan! - Chris
Good tip on removing the skin before frying up the pork belly. I got quite burned by exploding hot oil bubbles the last time I tried to make braised pork belly, skin and all. I've always wondered how chefs do it without having hot oil flying around the kitchen.
I think professional chefs are quite used to it to be honest
Amazing video! What is the finished internal temp of the pork? thx
Damn!!! That looks tasty tasty!! Gonna make this at the weekend :)
What do we should use without dry Sherry sir
what is the WOK material?
Very well done video! now I want to try it. First I need to buy a wok!!! but are they any for induction?
Nowadays you can easily get woks suitable for induction, in fact we offer a great selection: schoolofwok.co.uk/shop/woks
Thanks - YOLO
@@SchoolofWok Thanks a lot
Nice one Jeremy.
Could the sake and sherry be replaced with XiaoXingJiu?
Cheers
It won't quite have the same punch as Sake or Sherry - Arthur
Yummy.
🇺🇸💙
It was! - YOLO
You may wanna retitle this video is more like a chinese style char siu than what most people think of japanese chashu which is the rolled up pork belly sliced
Noticed that you are using a cast iron wok. Is there a reason for using this one over carbon steel.
Excellent heat retention and even dispersion of heat.
Precisely! - Lee
Hopefully you are good at reducing smell in the kitchen later on, as good as you have reduced the sous 😉 it looks really tasty.
Thank you Cyrus - YOLO
What can I substitute with dry sherry?
You can use Xioxing rice wine if you have it or even use regular cooking wine in a pinch! - Lee
Can you please make Ngoh Hiang Pork Rolls?
I'll add it to our suggestions! - Chris
I have just ordered a school of wok cleaver could you please tell me wether it has a single or double bevel and the best angle to sharpen it?
So it is double bevel and you should sharpen at a 20 degree angle :) - Arthur
@@SchoolofWok Thank you for your help much appreciated.
Can I use other type of meet. or it must be Pork belly? I would use Fillet of beef or pork fillet
This looks incredible. Question: I'm in a household that doesn't eat pork. What should I do if I wanted to replace the meat with chicken or even turkey? I'd imagine beef wouldn't be too dissimilar in terms of cooking time, but, obviously, would have nowhere near the same flavour.
Beef would be my choice too, will be a different flavour. But will still work. - Arthur
We tried it with beef and it worked well. Bought a small roasting joint, broke it down to 4 pieces and there was enough to go around a family of four and enough slices left for Ramen the next day.
Great recipe :)
If you don't have a heavy bottom wok, would a dutch oven work for this recipe?
Absolutely! - Chris
@@SchoolofWok Awesome!
Jeremy, I see sometimes people boil the pork before the wok to clean the impurities of the meat. Is that something worthwhile with this recipe?
That’s more of a Chinese method of preparing Char Siu, you can also do it with this recipe but it’s not 100% necessary to do! - Lee
When you say white corn flour , in the US would that the corn starch?
Yes, we call corn starch "cornflour" in the UK! - Lee
Would light brown sugar be the equivalent in the USA to what you call "soft brown sugar?"
Yup same different name.
This looks great, has the fat been trimmed? It looks somewhat less fatty than the strips you would get at a supermarket or piece from a butcher, just wanna make it right,salivating right now :D, thanks
These haven't been trimmed, but if you like you can trim yours to the same - Arthur
@@SchoolofWok perfect, can't wait to try it thanks. Fat is flavour after all 😃
can we make this with chicken or beef? (we dont eat pork)
Yes you can, you will need to adjust the cooking times, but the results will be as delicious. - YOLO
@@SchoolofWok thanks - will try it out !
What happens to all grease that renders from the pork? Your sauce doesn't appear greasy. THANKS.
What are cookin Oto Sun😂😂😂
Tip : Chill the meat for an hour and it would be easier and less messy to slice the meat
Ru cooki OtoMan😮😮😮
shaoxing wine is probably what i would use rather than sherry..
As usual, chashu is awesome, but very different from the char siu on which it is based.
Kind of like how tonkatsu is based on, but not very much like wiener schnitzel.
(I'm half Japanese.)

Char Siu you mean?
Sieht extrem lecker aus !👍
danke schön 👍 - YOLO
"You're gonna need a bigger wok."
Great recipe, but saying saké "is the non-sweet version of mirin" is like saying that grapes are the non-fermented version of wine...
Good point! - YOLO
We're working on an AI/3D Printer System to kick this out via your USB port.
Damn I did not want to buy pork belly

So hard to get belly pork in the US. It's all turned into streaky bacon
Frankly, It doesn't even close to Japanese chashu
I'll eat it if it's extra fatty cause I'm too skinny 🙄
I really don't see any reason to use a wok for a recepy like this....

the way he made it is really dry inside. not good. relied on the sauce at end. not real japanese.
not your best big J how long to cook again please
I think he said an hour and a half in the video but it was more like 2 hours in the end - Lee
chef you talk too much ...
give me real chashao anyday compared to this japanese knockoff
Looks dry
Oh it's really so easy. And you only need to stay in front of the pan for 2 hours? Whaaat? ... -.-
When braising on low heat, you don't need to stay in front of the pan. Go do anything else you need to and occasionally check on it. Simple.
@@XiangUK Occasionally checking on it is the same thing as standing in front of it. Just toss the meat in a pot of soy mixture and be done with it. This might be tastier, but it's not practical.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that - Lee
I thought that chashu was Chinese, not Japanese 😆
Char Siu is Chinese and it’s roasted pork, this is Chashu which is braised! - Lee
