Notes

(Chef notes) Try to thicken the sauce as a fluid gel with 2 g (0.4% of liquid) of agar and 0.75 g (0.15% of liquid) of xanthan gum. Disperse with the stick blender and then bring to boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Allow to cool until completely solid then purée in the blender. Seal with the ribs and reheat sous vide to 75°C / 167°F for 45 minutes
