How To Make Air Fryer Pork Belly:

1. Prepare the pork: Toss pork belly slices with olive oil, Chinese five-spice, salt, and pepper. Tear the red pepper into chunks. Place both in the air fryer and cook at 200°C for 25 minutes.
2. Rehydrate the noodles: Soak noodles in boiling water, then drain and refresh under cold water.
3. Make the dressing: Mix olive oil, grated ginger, garlic, chilli, lime juice and zest, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and fish sauce. Toss with mint, coriander, and noodles.
4. Prepare pineapple and veggies: Drizzle the pineapple with five-spice and olive oil, then air fry for 30 minutes at 200°C. Prep cucumber, carrot, asparagus, radishes, spring onions, and sugar snap peas. Toss with the noodles and dressing.
5. Finish the dish: Add honey and sesame seeds to the pork, and air fry for 5 more minutes. Chop pork and pineapple, mix into the salad, and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Season the pork well: Make sure to evenly coat the pork belly slices with the five-spice powder, salt, and pepper for maximum flavor.
• Cook the pineapple to perfection: Caramelize the pineapple in the air fryer until golden, which adds a sweet contrast to the savory pork.
• Toss the noodles properly: Rinse the noodles under cold water after rehydrating to prevent them from sticking together.
• Watch the vegetables: Keep the vegetables crunchy by not overcooking them, especially in the final toss with the noodles.
• Finish the pork: Add honey and sesame seeds in the final minutes of cooking for a tasty glaze on the pork.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, try to separate the pork belly and the salad. Store the pork belly in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 days. The salad can also be stored separately for up to 2 days.

When you’re ready to serve again, reheat the pork belly in the air fryer at 180°C for about 5 minutes, and serve with the salad cold. Don’t forget to add the dressing just before serving!
