Sous vide belly pork

Dissolve the salt in the water and immerse the pork. Leave to brine for 6 hours.
Heat the water bath to 64°C.
Remove the pork from the brine, seal it in a large vacuum bag on full pressure and place it in the water bath for 24 hours.
Remove the pork from the bag and drain away any juices (keep these for later) then pat dry with kitchen paper.
Place the pork belly between two trays and place a weight on top. Transfer to the fridge and leave for at least 6 hours but ideally overnight. This process sets the meat and makes it easier to portion and pan-fry.
The pork can now be cut into individual portions and pan fried until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
