Pork Belly ~ GIT IN MY BELLLLLLYYYYY
« Reply #-1 on: February 21, 2015, 08:23:54 PM »
Picked up a slab, did some bacon but that's neither here nor there.



Back to SV. This was cured then sous vide for 20 hours at 158 degrees.



Let it chill in the refrigerator overnight then sliced.



GIT IN MY BELLLLLLYYYYY!!
UMAMI filled pork belly. Seared then Cooked in brown sugar, Vietnamese fish sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, a bunch of garlic and ginger.

It's sweet, salty, a little spicy and full of Je Ne Sais Quoi (Je ne say WHO?)

I love Thai food, and that looks great!

It's also nice to see someone use pork belly in a cook for something besides bacon.  Nicely done, Bigg!

Fantastic, and nice description of the techniques! How hot was the samba you used? The last jar I got was just like a coarse sriracha....which was o.k. - I just expected it would be hotter....

You can tell us about how you did the bacon too ;) ;D

You might not hear it but I am clapping my hands.  Bravo.  And I don't even like Thai food.

I doubt that Sambal is meant to be HOT. Just a nice touch of heat. I don't like, let rephrase that, I despise HOT HOT food. I think hot food "specialists" are just masking bland food. But I could be wrong.

I agree with you on the "degree of heat..." I was just surprised - expecting the samba I bought would be hotter, I actually approached it by under-using it at first.
I laugh about the super-hot stuff...Folks generally don't understand that if they like that - they have dulled their sense of taste to many other things...... :D

Texas is under a State of Emergency because of 1/10 of an inch snow in the forecast. It's raining so I'll have to use my cast iron skillet. Buns are in the oven as I type.
