Ingredients

4 servings

2 lb pork belly, skin-on, cut into 1-inch-thick slabs
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika

For the glaze

3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

For serving

2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the pork belly slabs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of each slab.
2
Arrange the seasoned pork belly in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side up, leaving a little space between each piece. Let the pork rest at room temperature for 30 minutes — this helps the seasoning adhere and promotes even cooking.
