Air Fryer Pork Belly Bites

Step 1

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a pyrex dish. Add the pork belly slices, turn once to coat and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F / 200°C.

Step 3

Place the pork belly slices in a single layer on a rack or directly in the basket of your air fryer and reserve the marinade. NOTE: You may need to cook in batches, depending on the size of your fryer.

Step 4

Air fry the slices for 18-20 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. The pork will be sizzling and browned at the edges and some of the fat will have rendered. Use tongs to remove from the air fryer and cut into bite-sized cubes.

Step 5

Pour the marinade into a silicone air fryer liner, add the cubed pork belly bites and toss to coat.

Step 6

Lower the heat to 375°F / 190°C and air fry for a further 15-20 minutes, turning the bites over a few times so that they crisp up evenly. NOTE: if the pork is coloring too much you can reduce the heat a little further.

Step 7

Serve these Chinese pork belly bites garnished with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds as a side dish or over steamed rice for a more substantial meal.
