Must have for Chinese New Year! If I had known it was this easy to make, I would have tried it years ago! Happy Sunday! 💕

[@philso7872]

Did you allow Dude to have any from the one you demonstrated the preparation with or did you keep it all for yourself? 😉😋

[@janiceandthomas]

Same! Its surprisingly not hard to produce restaurant-quality results at home. What I want to perfect next is Char Siu...

I just had surgery on my gums and this recipe is wicked to me right now, but I promise, after my gum heals, I am eating a pound all by myself. Keep on cooking.

[@pharmacist5884]

another way to make the skin even more crispier and popping more is to rub the skin with a mixture of 4 parts of salt and 1 part of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). And punch in this mixture into the skin. When baked, the bicarbonate will desintegrate into carbondioxide thus making bubbles inside the collagene of the skin giving it even crispier and and more fluffy texture by literally making the skin rise like leavened dough (more crunchy bubbles in the skin).

A tip I like to give out when dealing with pig skin and one I picked up from years of scoring the skins on pork shoulder is to use a box cutter. Rather than using a knife to score the skin I like using a cheap box cutter with a retractable razor blade from the dollar store. The blades come already sharper than it is wise to take an all purpose kitchen knife, and you can easily control the depth of the cut.

[@ititloga]

Aaa

[@justsan1477]

Thanks. Good idea

[@Arandomperson_online]

Nice tip 👍

[@ScrumDelly]

Ok psycho, easy with the box cutter

[@ariesgirl54ify]

Thank you! Sounds like a WINNING insiders tip! 👍

[@iohamak03]

Mahalo (thank you) from Hawaii! Found a loaf pan that would fit in my air fryer and this came out great! Went only 6 minutes at 400 for the final stretch, and toothpicks didn’t work for the prep stage so I used a super sharp, poitnty paring knife for the holes. Let it come to room temp and keep wiping it off! The comment on using a rub of 4:1 salt to baking soda helped!

[@IngridnUptain]

Sat 104pm the pure joy on Flo’s face when she opened the air fryer and saw her fried pork belly. She was very excited to say the least!

[@MataH1]

I like that your seasoning is really simple, that's the only way to keep the taste of the pork.

[@ronaldnishimura8357]

This siu yuk(roast pork) and your garlic noodles are the one-two punch, above restaurant quality and so easy to make. Have done this duo several times over the past year--no need for take outs. Thank you so much for these easy tasty recipes.

[@mainscanner9843]

Tried it first time and it was a hit! Ive watched so many other how-to videos on this and this so far is the easiest way but still so much flavor! Thank you so much!

[@samuski36]

Ok I'm Irish American, but I took 5 years of wing chun and hung gar....6 to 8 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. As a result I was steeped in a little bit of Chinese culture, and of course the food, since there was a Chinese restaurant across the street from the school. I ordered this dish IDK how many times, and it never looked this good. Not only am I going to try this at home, but I am subscribed to this channel and looking forward to trying more recopies from it! It's not cultural appropriation, it's cultural appreciation! :)

[@virginiaeriguel8738]

Looks super yummy.thanks for sharing this recipe

[@navystan]

Love your husband play by play and final tasting with the mic right next to his mouth. Perfect!

Finally bought a Gourmia air fryer at a neighborhood garage sale for $20...my wife said my first go was perfect. We have the rectangular super sharp "XL" tenderizer. Love your method! THX!

[@liviococcia]

That sounds so tasty, so crunchy..... And all done in an Airfryer too, I salute the chef...a great video, with simply clear instructions, thank you

[@Kezz2762]

Fabulous....my only tweak was to rub the meat part of the belly with 1 tsp of sesame oil mixed with 1/2 tsp of five spice powder before trying to wrap it as beautifully as you did & then into the air fryer. Mmmm delicious...

[@ferdinandbautista984]

how can you not enjoy this videos

What great idea, I'm going to try that. We do that in Guam 🇬🇺 but the islanders here in California will love it.

[@CalvinandHobbes2011]

Im sitting here eating this Pork B based on your recipe, along with some potatoes augratin. It came out PERFECT, thanks for sharing. Instead of 8 mins uncovered to finish (I have a Cosori AF, which is on the stronger pwr side).... when I checked at 4 min mark, it was done! Whew, glad I checked. Flo, Im a subscriber now, can't wait to make another one of ur recipes!! TY!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I salted the skin for a few hours drying and resalting as moisture came out. Worked well.

[@stephenlau2127]

You are a smart woman in cooking innovation

[@ryanburr8419]

If you don't want to wait 24 hours for the pork belly to dry out then just use some aluminium foil and fold up the sides to make a dish that protects the meat of the pork belly. Pat the top dry with a paper towel and then brush it with some vinegar and put it in the airfryer at 90C/200F for 30 minutes. Then brush on some oil and salt the skin put it back in at 200C/400F for 40 mins. Using this method you don't even have to prick the top skin and you will still get wonderful crispy pork belly.

Crispy roast pork all by itself is legitness. Just give me a bowl of rice and bango! Not sure if it's a Hawaii thing but I love to stir fry crispy roast pork with some mustard cabbage. And eat with a bowl of rice.

[@rgrim7409]

Hubby's comments in the background were priceless, and totally indicative of how good he knew it was going to be. Sold me. Then the payoff at 12:00 was the kicker. As they would say in Hawaii, " Oh brah, it went broke da mouth." Another "tool" which worked for me, is to whittle a point onto a wooden chop stick and stab away.

[@eMavern_Emporium]

I had to watch this when I was eating dinner. It still wasn't enough! I am hungry looking at that and will be asking for an air fryer for my bday to recreate this asap

You can also try this technique and have crispy pork belly in less then 2hrs. Instead of poking holes on the skin, wipe dry with paper towel, then rub it with vinegar. Wrap the sides and bottom of the pork belly with aluminum foil, leaving the top skin exposed. Dehydrate or "dry heat" (depending on your air fryer setting) for 30 minutes at 200F. The vinegar will help pull moisture out of the skin while creating tiny little bubbles. After 30 minutes, take out, still leaving pork inside the foil wrap, rub the skin with oil, seasoned with salt (optional), then back into the air fryer for 40 minutes. You will have crispy crunchy bubble skin with juicy meat.
