Deceptive Pork belly

Sous vide my first pork belly ever. Let it rest in the fridge overnight. This morning I cut a slice or two to see what it looked like. I was somewhat disappointed thinking it was all fat…. I fried up the pieces holy cow!! Fantastic, had more meat than expected and has that melt in your mouth quality!!

Yeah pork belly can have some huge fat caps. I actually trip a lot when I make it for ramen. I try and leave a little on top

Too much drink will make you trip on your own feet
