Air fryer spicy pork belly

Cooking pork belly slices in an air fryer guarantees a crispy outside and succulent meat inside. Once you’ve made this sticky, sweet and spicy marinade you’ll be making it every week!

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1½ tbsp cider or wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely grated
• ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
• 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 tsp runny honey or sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 500g/1lb 2oz pork belly slices
• freshly cooked rice and steamed greens, to serve

Method

1. Mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, garlic, chilli flakes, Chinese five-spice, sugar and salt together in a large shallow dish. Add the pork slices and leave to marinate at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.

2. Preheat the air fryer to 180C. Arrange the pork slices in the air fryer basket, ideally in a single layer. Air-fry for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through and brushing with any remaining marinade, until the pork is well browned and completely cooked through.

3. Serve the pork with the rice and steamed greens.
