Recipe

Place the bone-in pork belly, about 2cm thick, into a zip-top bag. Add garlic, herb spices, and 50ml of confit oil, enough to partially submerge the meat.
Immerse the zip-top bag in water, pushing out as much air as possible before sealing to create a semi-vacuum state.
Cook at a low temperature of 58 degrees Celsius (136 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2 hours using a sous vide machine.
After cooking, remove the pork belly from the bag and carefully wipe off any moisture from the surface with paper towels.
Heat a pan with a little oil over high heat. Sear the pork belly, turning every 30 seconds for a total of 2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Place pork belly, garlic, herbs, and 50ml oil in a zip-top bag.
Use water pressure to remove air and seal.
Cook for 2 hours in 58°C water.
Remove and thoroughly pat the surface dry.
Sear both sides until crispy in a heated pan to finish.

Cooking tips

The moisture and oil released from the pork within the zip-top bag will mix together. Wiping the surface thoroughly before pan-searing prevents excessive oil splattering.
Since the interior is already perfectly cooked, no resting is required. Simply induce a quick Maillard reaction on the surface by searing.
