Ingredients
Directions
- Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, honey, sugar, garlic, colouring (if using) and spice powder in a shallow bowl. Whisk well to combine. Pour half of the sauce into a jug and reserve for later. Add the pork into the bowl with the remaining sauce. Rotate to cover completely and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Place marinated pork into vacuum sealed bag. Place into sous Vide at 169 degrees for 10 hours.
- Remove from sous Vide and place unopened bag into fridge to cool for several hours or overnight.
- Take pork from bag and discard juices. Cut pork belly into bite sized cubes.
- Sauté cubed pork belly or finish on griddle and serve over rice.
Finishing Steps
- Use reserved ingredients for marinade to create a finishing sauce. Add some cornstarch to help thicken.
