Instructions

Prepare the Pork Belly:
- Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels (removing moisture helps crisp the skin).
- Cut into bite-sized cubes or 1-inch strips.
Season the Pork:
- In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, five-spice, soy sauce, vinegar, and olive oil.
- Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork belly pieces.
Air Fry the Pork Belly:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place pork belly pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes for even crisping.
Check for Crispiness:
- If the skin isn’t crispy enough, increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Let the pork belly rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, or a spicy vinegar dip.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, score the skin lightly with a knife and rub with additional salt.
Want a sticky glaze? Toss cooked pork belly in honey garlic sauce or teriyaki sauce before serving.
Best when served fresh! Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes.
