Pork belly in the air fryer is a great way to use this cut of meat. Glazed with sticky hoisin sauce and simply served with a bowl of rice - it's delicious. This really is a meal the whole family will love. If you don’t have an air fryer then don’t panic you can do this in your oven. It just might take a little longer to cook through.

Marinate the pork belly
Cut the pork belly into bite size pieces.

Toss the pork belly pieces in the cornflour.
Place the pork belly on top of the crisp plate in the air fryer. Cook for 16 minutes at 180°C, shaking halfway through.
Make the hoisin glaze
While the pork belly is cooking, make the hoisin glaze. Combine the hoisin sauce, the remaining soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and the ginger and garlic paste.
Finish the dish
When the pork belly is nearly ready, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
Deseed and slice the chilli.
Pour the hoisin glaze over the pork belly and stir to cover.
Plate Up
