Ingredients

  • 1 poundpork belly
  • 1/3 cupcanned pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cupdiced pineapple
  • 3 tablespoonsbrown sugar
  • 2 tablespoonssoy sauce
  • 2 tablespoonsadobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoonapple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoonchili powder
  • 1 teaspoongranulated garlic
  • 1 teaspooncumin

Directions

  1. 1

    Using a sharp knife, cut the pork belly into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut it into strips first and then in the opposite direction to create cubes.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl or zip-top bag, add the pork belly cubes.

  3. 3

    Add the pineapple juice, diced pineapple, brown sugar, soy sauce, adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, granulated garlic, and cumin. Toss until well combined. Marinate for 4-6 hours.

  4. 4

    After the pork has finished marinating, place the cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  5. 5

    Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking 2-3 times while cooking to rotate the cubes.

  6. 6

    Reduce the temperature to 280°F and air fry for another 12-15 minutes, shaking a few times, or until the pork is cooked to your liking. It should have a slight char and be crispy but still have some fat intact. If it is tough, continue cooking at 280°F until it is tender.
