Chef Jowett Yu demonstrates the processes behind the creation of one of his signature porcine dishes

It was just this past summer that Taiwanese-born chef Jowett Yu, who came to fame with his award-winning restaurants Mr Wong and Mrs G in Sydney, packed up his bags to open his first restaurant in Hong Kong: Ho Lee Fook. Since then, we’ve been delighted with his take on classic Chinese flavours, which have been modernised with his inventive approach to food.
In the video below, chef Yu demonstrates how to re-create his rendition of grilled pork belly, which is served with a refreshing red cabbage salad. The dish encapsulates some of the best flavours found across Asia, with just a hint of spice in the chilli salsa that beautifully complements the tender meat.
