Ingredients

1 lb pork belly (thick cut)

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp sugar

½ tsp white pepper

1 tsp five spice powder

1 tbsp vinegar

Cucumbers

Scallions

Directions

Cut your pork belly into large thick strips and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.

Once cool, make shallow slits on both the meat side and the skin side of the pork belly.

In a small bowl, combine salt, sugar, white pepper, and five spice powder. Rub this mixture only on the meat side, making sure it gets into the slits.

Season the skin side lightly with salt, then brush the skin with vinegar.

Place the pork belly skin-side up in your air fryer at a low temperature (around 250°F / 120°C) for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, brush the skin with a little oil and air fry again at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes, or until the skin is bubbly and crispy.

Remove from the air fryer and slice the pork belly to your desired thickness.
