Indulge in crispy, sticky, and spicy pork belly bites made in the air fryer. Perfectly caramelized and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients
- • Pork belly: 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Honey: 3 tablespoons
- • Sriracha sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • Sesame oil: 1 teaspoon
- • Green onions: 2, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the pork belly cubes with soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until the pork is evenly coated.
- 3 Arrange the pork belly pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 4 While the pork belly is cooking, prepare the glaze by mixing honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture begins to simmer and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- 5 Once the pork belly is crispy and cooked through, transfer it to a clean bowl. Pour the honey sriracha glaze over the pork and toss to coat evenly.
- 6 Return the glazed pork belly to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- 7 Remove from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These sticky pork belly bites are a perfect appetizer or main dish, especially when paired with a cool, crisp cucumber salad to balance the heat. For an added touch of indulgence, serve them alongside a creamy coleslaw or buttery cornbread. A chilled glass of sparkling water with a hint of lime or a cold lager works wonders as a refreshing beverage pairing, cutting through the richness and spiciness of the dish. For a creative twist, consider serving these bites in lettuce cups for a handheld treat that's both refreshing and satisfying. The combination of warm, sticky pork and crisp, cool lettuce creates a delightful contrast, making every bite a flavor-packed experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pork belly bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain their crispy texture.
