Indulge in crispy air fryer Korean BBQ pork belly skewers with spicy kimchi mayo. A flavor explosion worthy of any gathering!
Ingredients
- • Pork belly: 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- • Gochujang (Korean chili paste): 2 tablespoons
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Ginger: 1-inch piece, grated
- • Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • Kimchi: 1/2 cup, finely chopped
- • Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
- • Lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • Green onions: 2 stalks, chopped
- • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • Skewers: 8-10 wooden or metal
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar to create a marinade. Add the pork belly cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 3 Thread the marinated pork belly cubes onto skewers, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
- 4 Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the pork is crispy and cooked through.
- 5 While the skewers cook, prepare the spicy kimchi mayo by mixing the chopped kimchi, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- 6 Once the pork belly skewers are done, remove them from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately with the spicy kimchi mayo dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air Fryer Korean BBQ Pork Belly Skewers pair beautifully with a side of steamed jasmine rice or fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a simple cucumber salad seasoned with rice vinegar and sesame oil, which adds a refreshing contrast to the rich skewers. As for beverages, a chilled glass of Korean soju or a light lager complements the savory and spicy flavors of the dish, enhancing your dining experience.
Storage Tips
To store any leftover skewers, allow them to cool to room temperature before placing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through, preserving their crispiness.
