This delicious, tender pork belly is a great no-fuss dish that can be made ahead and enjoyed during the week. Finish under the broiler or on the grill for an extra charred look and added smokiness.
Insert the probe into the clip attached to the side of the pot making sure it doesn't touch the bottom. Fill the pot right to the bottom of the probe bracket. Select Probe/ Sous Vide in Control Mode and set the temeprature to 185°F (85°C) and allow the water to preheatt completly.
Measure and combine all the ingredients, then set aside.
Once the marinade is well mixed, reserve some of it for later.
Cut the pork belly to fit in a large zip-top bag. Score the top 1" (2.5cm) apart, then place it in the bag. Pour the large bowl of the marinade into the bag, then close it making sure to remove all the air and coat the belly with the liquid.
Add the bag in the preheated water making sure the top of the bag is folded over the edge of the pot and the meat is fully submerged. Cook, the belly for 8 hours. If needed add more warm water to the pot.
Transfer the bag onto a clean towel and dry well, then pour belly and liquids into a bowl.
Place the pork belly on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, fat side up. Pour some of the reserved marinade over the top and transfer to a preheated broiler until the fat chars and crisps up, some popping noises are expected.
Remove from the broiler, onto a heat-proof surface and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into slices and sprinkle with the prepared garnishes.
