FAQS
Can I use a different cut of pork instead of pork belly?
While pork belly is recommended for its fat content and flavor, you can experiment with other cuts like pork shoulder or pork loin, but the texture and crispiness may vary.

Crispy air fryer pork belly pairs well with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad. You can also serve it with dipping sauces like hoisin or soy sauce.
How do I know when the pork belly is fully cooked?
The pork belly should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Can I marinate the pork belly overnight?
Yes, marinating the pork belly overnight in the refrigerator can enhance the flavor. Just make sure to cover it properly to prevent any contamination.
