Step by Step Guide: 1. Preparing the Pork Belly: Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the pork belly. Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels to ensure it’s moisture-free. 2. Seasoning: Generously season both sides of the pork belly with table salt. Ensure an even coating. Sprinkle 3 tsp of Chinese Five Spice Powder evenly over the pork belly for an aromatic blend of flavours. Drizzle 3 tsp of Chinese Shaoxing Wine over the pork belly to add depth of flavour. Massage the ingredients into the meat for an even distribution. 3. Flip the pork over and transfer to a large plate. Refrigerate with cling film (or uncovered) overnight to allow the salt to draw out moisture from the skin. 4. The next day, take the pork belly out and grab a sheet of foil and place it under the pork belly. Fold the foil up around the pork belly so that it covers all sides of the meat (leaving the top skin exposed). Pat the skin dry with paper towel. 5. Air Frying Process: Place pork into air fryer basket, skin side up. Air fry the pork belly at 120°C for approximately 30 minutes. 6. Take the pork belly out of the air fryer and remove the foil. Pat the skin dry with paper towel. Place the pork belly back into the air-fryer and cook at 200C for 13 minutes. Swap the pork belly position halfway through (at 10 min mark) to ensure even crispiness. 7. Once the pork belly is golden brown and irresistibly crispy, carefully remove it from the air fryer. 8. Serve, Enjoy and savor each crispy bite! ======= 分步指南： 1. 准备五花肉：用锋利的刀在五花肉的带皮一侧划痕。用纸巾将五花肉拍干，以确保其无水分。 2. 调味：用食盐将五花肉两面充分调味。确保涂层均匀。将 3 茶匙五香粉均匀地撒在五花肉上，以获得芳香的混合风味。将 3 茶匙中国绍兴酒淋在五花肉上，以增加味道的深度。将成分按摩到肉中，使其均匀分布。 3. 把猪肉翻过来，放到一个大盘子里。用保鲜膜（或不盖盖子）冷藏过夜，让盐吸收皮肤上的水分。 4. 第二天，把五花肉拿出来，拿一张箔纸放在五花肉下面。将箔纸折叠在五花肉周围，使其覆盖肉的所有侧面（使顶部皮肤暴露）。用纸巾拍干皮肤。 5.空气炸锅过程：将猪肉放入空气炸锅炸篮中，带皮的一面朝上。将五花肉以120°C空气炸约30分钟。 6. 将五花肉从空气炸锅中取出，除去箔纸。用纸巾拍干皮肤。将五花肉放回空气炸锅中，以200°C煮13分钟。中途（10 分钟处）交换五花肉的位置，以确保酥脆均匀。 7. 一旦五花肉呈金黄色且酥脆得令人难以抗拒，小心地将其从空气炸锅中取出。 8. 享受并品尝每一口酥脆的五花肉！
Haha, yeah, my son always manages to steal the show! I'm glad you found it entertaining and love the recipe. Let me know how the recipe turns out for your family!
Thank you so much for trying out the recipe! I'm glad you found it easy to make and enjoyed the result. As for the dipping sauces, I'll definitely consider making a video on that soon!
Thanks for your comment. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for trying out my recipe! It warms my heart to know that you ventured into the kitchen and gave it a shot. From your comment, it seems like you encountered an issue with the meat not cooking through as expected. Hopefully I can help troubleshoot the situation to ensure a successful culinary experience next time. Given that air fryer temperatures can indeed vary for different brand and model, and considering the pork was defrosted beforehand, it's possible that a couple of factors may have influenced the outcome. Here are a few suggestions: Check Air Fryer Temperature: Air fryers can differ in their temperature accuracy. To ensure even cooking, consider preheating your air fryer for a few minutes before placing the pork inside can contribute to a more consistent cooking experience. Thickness of Meat: The thickness of the pork cuts can also impact cooking time. If the pieces were thicker, they might require a bit more time. Alternatively, if they were thin, reducing the cooking time could prevent overcooking. 1st cooking through the pork the first 30 min before removing the aluminium foil, you should observe the pork should be 80% cook through at that stage, if nope, adjust 5-10 more minutes before removing the aluminium foil for 200C 2nd time cooking. Swap the pork position: considering swap the pork position during the 2nd time cooking for evenly cooking. It's always important to make sure your meat is cooked properly to avoid any health risks especially cooking pork. Hope these tips help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or additional details. Wishing you happy and successful cooking endeavors!
