Report
Irresistible Air Fryer Pork Belly that's tender, crispy and flavorful
Share:
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds pork belly 680g
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce 79 ml
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Slice the pork belly into strips, you may have to cut it in half to fit in the air fryer, or if you prefer, cut it into bite size pieces.
- Pre heat air fryer to 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C.
- Arrange the pork belly strips in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Flip and air fry for another 7 minutes, or until nicely browned and as crispy as you prefer it.
- In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients to make the sauce mixture.
- Open the air fryer basket and brush the pork belly strips well with the sauce mixture. Air fry for 3 - 4 minutes or until the sauce caramelizes. You can serve the strips with more sauce on the side.
Notes
- Watch the cooking time carefully to avoid overcooking the hoisin sauce, which can result in a bitter taste.
- Look for pork belly with the skin still attached, often found at Asian supermarkets.
- Rubbing the pork belly with light olive oil before cooking helps achieve crispy pork belly skin.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145 degrees F / 63 degrees C, especially for thicker slices.
- You can reduce saturated fat by selecting a section of meat with less fat or removing excess fat yourself.
- Air frying times may vary depending on the thickness of the meat and your air fryer brand.
- Storage – Store any leftover pork belly in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
