Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Pork Belly

Trim excess fat from the pork belly and cut it into two equal pieces.

Season the Pork

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, smashed garlic, sliced ginger, chopped green onions, and water. Place the pork in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.

Sous-Vide Cooking

Preheat your sous-vide water bath to 68°C (155°F). Submerge the sealed bag in the water bath and cook for 24 hours.

Sear the Pork

After 24 hours, remove the pork from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.

Slice and Serve

Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a topping for ramen or on its own.
