Instructions
 

  • Combine, (All ingredients other than pork). Set aside 5 tablespoon of the marinade for basting
    1 tablespoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup Hoisin Sauce, ¼ cup Oyster sauce, 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce – Low Sodium or regular, 1 teaspoon Five spice powder, 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil, 1 tablespoon cooking wine
  • Slice pork belly into 1" strips
  • For best marinade absorption, poke holes with a fork or meat tenderizer on 2 sides of the meat
  • Cut Pork belly into 1" cubes.
    3-3.5 lbs pork belly ( Cut into 1" cubes)
  • Into a mixing bowl, combine pork with marinade sauce. For best results, cover and refrigerate overnight, but marinate at least 10 minutes before cooking. If just marinating 10 minutes, be very generous with the marinade when basting.
  • Preheat your air fryer or oven to 385
  • Add pork belly into the air fryer and set cook time for 20 minutes
  • After 5 minutes, baste with the marinade sauce
  • After another 5 minutes, at the 10 minute mark, flip the pork and baste with the marinade sauce.
  • Baste one more time after another 5 minutes at the 15 minute mark and check internal temp
  • At the 20 minute mark your pork belly bites should be done. Check the internal temp.
  • If you are using an oven and there is not enough char you can move the pork up to a higher rack for the last 5 minutes of cooking, or of there is too much char you can turn down the oven to 350 to finish cooking.
  • When the temp reaches 145-160 you’re done ! *Pork is safe to eat at 145, but cook to your preference*
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to shorten the marinade time, poke holes all over the meat so the flavors can absorb more quickly.
Every Air Fryer is Different.
I have 2 Air fryers, and one is 1400 watts, and one is 900 watts. This pork belly may cook in as little as 12-15 minutes depending on your air fryer. For your first time making this recipe, I recommend cooking at 375, and turning it up to 385-400 for the last few minutes to char the bites. I would recommend at the 10 and 15 minute mark to always check on the progress of your pork belly for doneness
