When it comes to cooking, it's crucial to keep in mind that everybody else started somewhere. I do not know of a single person who was born with a wooden cooking spoon and all set. There's a whole lot of learning which needs to be carried out in order to be a prolific cook and there is obviously room for advancement. Not only do you need to start with the basics in terms of cooking however you almost need to begin again if learning to cook a fresh cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.
Nutritious cooking is often difficult as most of us do not need to spend some time preparing and planning meals that our own families refuse to eat. At the exact same time, we need our families to be healthier so we are feeling compelled to learn new and improved methods of cooking healthy foods to the family to love (and regrettably in certain scenarios scorn).
The fantastic thing is that once you've heard the basics of cooking it's unlikely you will ever need to displace them. Which means you may constantly buildup and expand your cooking abilities. As you know new recipes and increase your culinary skills and talents you will find that preparing your meals from scratch is far more rewarding than preparing prepackaged meals that are purchased from the shelves of your regional supermarkets.

Just in addition, the time it takes to cook Chinese Roast Pork (Siu Yuk) estimated approx 3-24 hours (including drying time).
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have Chinese Roast Pork (Siu Yuk) using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.
I love Siu Yuk from restaurants and have tried multiple times to make it at home with varying degrees of success, but it's never the same. I have been experimenting with pressure cooking recently, so I thought I would try a version using this technique. It turned out really well. I would like the skin to be a bit more bubbly, I will update the recipe if I manage this next time!
A couple of tips, I used a piece of equipment that has an air fryer included, but you could easily do the browning of the skin in the oven.
Secondly, I used a sharp knife for cutting it up at the end, but it didn't look great. Definitely, time to invest in a proper cleaver.
Lastly, I would purchase the Pork belly from your local Asian supermarket if you can. Pork Belly from these establishments is cut to better suit cooking Asian dishes (it has more meat on). The UK supermarket pork belly is generally quite thin.
Ingredients and spices that need to be Make ready to make Chinese Roast Pork (Siu Yuk):
- 750 g Pork belly
- 250 ml Water
- 3 tsp 5 Spice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp Rice Wine
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
Steps to make Chinese Roast Pork (Siu Yuk)
- Get your pork belly and remove any bones. Cut into pieces so it will fit in the pressure cooker
- Add the ingredients to the pressure cooker and mix well. Place the pork belly in the pressure cooker.
Set the pressure cooker to 15 mins on high pressure with natural release of the pressure. (Should take around 15 mins).
- Once the pressure has finished releasing remove the pork belly carefully and allow to cool slightly. Once cooled, either using a meat tenderiser, or a fork (which I used), poke lots of holes in the skin everywhere. This is to help extract moisture, giving a crispier skin
- Once fully cooled, add a lot of salt to the top (a few mm high), and put in the fridge. This will help to extract the moisture. Keep in the fridge a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once finished in the fridge, remove and wipe all the the salt and moisture off the skin and wrap foil around the meaty part, leaving the skin exposed
- Put in an AirFryer (or grill) and crisp the skin using that method. It was around 20mins at 200 degrees C in my AirFryer.
Be sure to keep checking on the pork belly while crisping as it can turn from being just right to being burnt quite quickly!
- Chop and serve! (See note above regarding cutting). I served with an asian crunchy salad (Wom Bok etc) with a seasame dressing
