@voodoo you should listen to @Crucial. He's right here.

Fuck, OK.

So in the spirit of minimal wastage, I have everything needed for this except "seasoned rice vinegar".

Can I concoct this from any combination of this motley collection that I have been touring NZ with?

@voodoo You need the acidity, but I don't think red wine vinegar or balsamic are light enough. White wine vinegar might do it

Crucial

@voodoo use the mirin. Add a squeeze of lemon if you have one and salt. Leave sitting a bit longer than the recipe

This bloody thread creates too much pressure, especially coming off my brisket disaster...

Have u salted and air dried the meat? I usually score the skin (knife or I have this meat tenderizer thing that is like a bunch of nails which pierces the skin), salt it and put it in the fridge uncovered for a while to dry it out. If you are cooking tonight I'd do it to improve your chances of getting crispy skin

Oh I see the recipe calls for boiling water. That will work too. The other thing is trying to get the belly skin as level in the oven as possible. If you finish it under the grill it will help to give you a nice even crispy top.

I like to cook chinese style pork, I also like to flavour it Italian style; salt, rosemary, fennel seeds and olive oil. It's the shiz

Redemption tasted good!!!

And yes, I know roasted spuds have no place next to an Asian style belly, but I'm an addict.

@voodoo Redemption looks good too!

Looks mint. My family would beg to differ mate, spuds with almost everything in our family, including chinese roast chicken or pork, is mandatory

In fact, rice and potatoes are standard fare when my mum cooks. Put them in the space under the meat and let them soak up all the marinade and meat fat

Aloo Gosht curry yesterday. Cooked it in the slow cooker for 9 hours. Not fucking bad

Best thing was getting on the beers all arvo and still serving up dinner like a champion home maker. Also curry after beer...

Beer after Curry I find oddly difficult. Might be something to do with all the beer before curry?

Found this at Tesco, sure I've seen it mentioned here before. Any good?

It's good but it's not Fix and Fogg which is the best Peanut Butter I have ever had.

If you see this brand over there, buy the extra crunchie! https://fixandfogg.com/

@Hooroo was pretty amazed to see that actually, don't usually shop at Tesco but popped in as it is the only place around here to get Vegemite.

I know, I'm taking this thread to new heights.
