Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pork belly slices

  • After boiling remove the meat out and place it in a rack and let it cool. Use paper towels to pat the excess water as much as possible.
  • Take a sharp knife or a meat skewer and pierce holes into the skin of the pork belly. But don’t go too deep that you reach the meat.
  • Transfer the pork belly to your refrigerator and let it sit uncovered for 12 hours. You can check now and then to wipe off any excess moisture from the skin.
  • Then, preheat your air fryer at 200C/400f for 5 minutes.
  • While your air fryer is heating, sprinkle the salt and pepper to taste and mix them well but not on the skin.
