Main Ingredients
- Pork Neck 400g
- Pork Belly 400g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the pork neck and belly inside and air fry for 10 minutes on each side, for a total of 20 minutes. This initial cooking step creates a delicious pre-cooked base.
Step 2
For more thoroughly cooked pork, continue air frying at 180°C (350°F) for an additional 15 minutes. You can adjust this time according to your preference for doneness.
Step 3
Line a frying pan with aluminum foil to prevent sticking. Arrange the air-fried pork neck and belly pieces attractively on the foil.
Step 4
Generously sprinkle the chopped scallions over the pork. The fresh scallion aroma will infuse into the meat as it cooks, adding another layer of flavor.
Step 5
Pour the store-bought smoky BBQ sauce evenly over the pork and scallions. This sauce provides a perfect balance of savory and sweet notes.
Step 6
Heat the pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the ingredients, tossing gently to coat the pork and scallions with the sauce. Cook quickly, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until everything is well combined and heated through. The fragrant scallions and the rich soy sauce create a wonderfully appetizing pork dish.
Step 7
Transfer the finished soy-glazed pork to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a final touch. Enjoy this delightful dish that offers a crispy texture and a non-greasy, savory flavor!
Step 8
Extra Tip: For an even crispier texture, you can extend the stir-frying time slightly. If you prefer a touch of heat, consider adding some finely chopped chili peppers during the stir-frying process.
