Instructions
- Combine and mix the following ingredients:2.5 tbsp Soy Sauce – Low Sodium, 1.5 tsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp Oyster sauce, ½ tbsp Dark Soy Sauce, 1.5 tsp Onion Powder, 1.5 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tbsp Honey
- 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.
- Into a mixing bowl, combine pork with half the marinade sauce. Reserve the other half for basting. 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.
- Add pork belly into the air fryer at 380F and set cook time for 15 minutes
- To the reserved marinade saved for basting, add 1 tablespoon of Honey
- 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. Check the internal temp.
- I like my pork to be cooked at about 145 so I cook about 12-15 minutes.
- Baste one more time after another 5 minutes at the 15 minute mark if you like a more cooked pork and check internal temp. If pork belly bites are done (145-160F) at this time you can still baste one last time and let the air fryer cook for about one more minute.
- Medium Rare: 145-150 F (63-66 C)Medium: 150-155 F (66-68 C)Medium Well: 155-160 F (68-71 C)Well Done: 160 F (71C)
- If your belly bites need more time, at the 20 minute mark your pork belly should be done.
- 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 5-10 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.
Look for a slab that has at least 60/40 meat to fat ratio, try to find one that does not have more fat than meat.
Every Air Fryer and oven are Different so please check your internal temperature while cooking.
*Medium Rare 145-150 F
Medium 150-155 F
Medium Well 155-160 F
Well Done 160 F
