Ingredients

Techniques
- 454 g skin-on pork belly
- 1½ tbsp plum sauce
- 1½ tbsp white sugar
Score the meat side of the pork belly with a sharp knife without cutting through the skin, so the seasoning penetrates quickly.
- ⅔ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp five spice powder
Mix the rub: per pound of meat, 2/3 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp each sugar, black pepper, garlic powder and five spice powder.
Skin side down, sprinkle the rub over the meat, opening the cuts and rubbing in, including the sides; keep it off the skin, wiping any off with a damp paper towel.
- salt (for the skin)
Rub a pinch of salt thoroughly into the skin; after a couple of minutes, wipe off the drawn moisture and excess salt with a paper towel.
Increase to 400F and fry 10 to 15 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden; check the basket and adjust, as air fryers differ.
Cut into bite-sized pieces; serve with plum sauce or white sugar for dipping.
