  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Marinate Pork Belly: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add pork belly cubes and mix well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare Skewers: Thread marinated pork belly cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. Cook Skewers: Place skewers in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
  5. Check for Doneness: Ensure pork belly is crispy and cooked through. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped parsley over the skewers before serving.

Tips

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more salt or spices.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce like spicy mayo or teriyaki for extra flavor.
