Part 5/8:
With a thick fillet gently cooked at around 130° C for 7 to 8 minutes, these precise timings yield pork that is slightly rare upon arrival. The result? A beautiful presentation of color and an explosion of flavor that breaks upon the first bite.
A Symphony of Textures and Flavors
The journey embodies a blend of textures that begins with the pork belly. Each layer captivates the palate, as the fatty portions dissolve upon contact, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The delicate batter provides an initial crunch, harmonizing seamlessly with the richness of the pork fat. Tatsu sauce offers a tangy contrast that balances the overall richness, perfectly complemented by rice.
