Deep Fried Sous Vide Pork Belly Skewers with Honey Garlic Glaze
Cooking pork belly in the sous vide is an experience. Of all the food I have cooked in the Sous Vide Supreme
, pork belly is my favourite. Tender and decadent, pork belly prepared in a sous vide is a 3 day event. I might even call it a ritual. Some people may think that the time is excessive but it is oh so worth it. For detailed instructions on how to cook the pork belly in the sous vide, click here.
After the pork belly comes out of the water bath, one way to finish it off is to give it a quick deep fry. They are crispy on the outside like bacon and succulent in the middle. Drizzle it with an Asian honey garlic glaze and you have a pork version of honey garlic chicken wings!
