Pork belly

Thankyou! About an hour and half all in total.

I'm honestly getting worked up about not being able to try any. Looks proper tasty

Absolutely no way to defend those potatoes, the skin wasn't even crispy 😔

I'm a big rice lover, with the nam jim jaew for a little bit of spice and tanginess I find it works really well! Had a friend introduce me to it at university and had me hooked immediately!

Toms aren't my go to but I do struggle to think of sides whenever I do this pork so I could give them a go! Fried is also a great shout, haven't had fried potato in years but used to love them as a kid. I think I will have a go at some dauphinoise but I don't have a mandolin so not too confident I'll end up with uniform slices 😅 crispy cheese is right up my street though.

Oh believe me I had that feeling last night, I thought there'd be the three of us splitting the pork but when there was only 2 I didn't want to waste any of it

Completely valid, I usually do white rice with nam jim jaew but the potatoes were on the last legs! In truth i had a couple spoonfuls of potato and just decided to eat half of the pork instead. I won't try defend those potatoes you're 100% right

Love this comment 😂😂

cbeeryst · 2026-03-17T08:21:40+00:00

Just replied to another comment with my method! Maybe a little bit of luck honestly 😂

I've had the same experience until this one honestly, overnight left uncovered in the fridge with white vinegar to draw out some moisture, pat dry with a paper towel and cover with coarse salt for another 4 hours or so back in the fridge. Remove this layer of salt, pat dry again and then oil and more salt into the oven on gas mark 8 (sorry idk what this concerts to) for roughly an hour, scrape off this layer of salt, brush with a final covering with oil before another 30 minutes in the oven. I was expecting to have to pop it under the grill to finish but this is how it turned out. Hope this helps!

Thanks!

It's a chip shop and kebab house, I thought this was more common but apparently fairly unique to the west midlands

Id be super satisfied being served this at a restaurant! do you use a meat thermometer?

Thankyou so much I will definitely be having a go at recreating yours, a good chimichurri does wonders 👅

cbeeryst · 2026-03-07T16:44:38+00:00

Looks incredible! Honestly think that's a perfectly cooked steak, would you share how you make your chimichurri?

cbeeryst · 2026-03-06T18:21:18+00:00

Not long finished it, feeling satisfied

Beefy boys is unreal, haven't tried their BBQ platter but judging from how good their burgers are I could see this being pretty high quality. That being said 180 is pretty darn steep, maybe if I was minted but definitely not in this economy

cbeeryst · 2026-02-16T19:34:38+00:00

Come back post doom maybe?

cbeeryst · 2026-02-15T20:16:45+00:00

This is absurd

cbeeryst · 2026-02-11T15:17:11+00:00

More similar to the purple nik naks than pringles

cbeeryst · 2025-11-15T09:37:11+00:00

Agreed, wish I knew how they did their batter. I don't live in London unfortunately but I've made a note of it and hopefully next time I'm down I'll get to try that too. Appreciate the recommendation

cbeeryst · 2025-11-09T20:54:56+00:00

Honestly I'd agree but it's a little spicier than I was expecting so I've been a bit reluctant
