Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Ensure the pork surface is completely dry to aid Maillard reaction and prevent excessive oil splatter during cooking.
  • Applying the caramel sauce to the meat's surface rather than caramelizing directly in the pan prevents smoke and oil splatter in the kitchen.
  • When using a regular pot, add significantly more water than the sous vide ratio to compensate for evaporation, starting with a milder flavor to avoid being too salty.
  • For an even more melt-in-your-mouth texture, extend the sous vide time to 24 hours.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to taste a supremely tender meat dish that melts in your mouth, requiring time and immense dedication.
  • Those who want to recreate the deep flavor of authentic Chinese five-spice without using store-bought sauces.
  • Those looking for a premium Chinese-style visual dish for special occasions or home party entertaining.
