  3. Submerge the pouch in the water oven and cook for at least 10 hours, but up to 18 hours will make the meat even more tender.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  5. Season the pork belly on both sides with salt and pepper to taste and grill the pork for 30 to 45 seconds per side to get a tasty crust all around.
  6. Slice the belly and transfer to a warm platter.

For the Slider Slaw

  2. Add the cabbage or slaw mix and toss to coat evenly.
