I can’t believe how crispy the meat came out! Definitely cooking it in the air fryer from now on!
I’ve definitely enjoyed my air fryer so much more since discovering all your air fryer recipes. This one especially is my favorite!
This recipe worked for me my pieces were about 2X2″ i cooked it at 400 for ,19 min 7, 7, and 5 min. Stiring each time i stopped it. The important part is sqeeze the biggest piece and its done when its clear greese and not a cloudy white

I added some brown sugar, mirin, and found led the soy sauce. These were great. 15 min at 400f was perfect.
Love the addition of mirin. Great balance of flavors! Thanks for sharing Joel.

Thanks for another great air fryer recipe! Love cooking with the air fryer.
A temperature setting would be helpful you don’t mention anything about temperature
Hi Jolene! The temperature is in the recipe box at the end of the write up. It’s 400F. Enjoy!
These pork belly bites came out super crispy and tasty. Really awesome recipe and really great idea to cook this in the air fryer. Much less oil than just regular old frying.
