Crispy Pork Belly with Street BBQ Chinese — Plus the Optional Banh Mi Upgrade**

Crispy crackling, juicy pork and bold, aromatic flavour from Street BBQ Chinese — this air fryer pork belly is fast, reliable and incredibly versatile.

Serve it with fried rice and greens for an easy weeknight dinner, or take it to the next level by turning it into a knockout Banh Mi.

Method

1. Prepare the Pork Belly

  1. Score the pork belly skin in both directions (a crosshatch pattern). Repeat on the meat side.

  2. In a bowl, combine Street BBQ Chinese, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic and a splash of water to form a paste.

  3. Rub the mixture thoroughly over the pork belly — especially into the scored cuts for maximum flavour.

2. Air Fry the Pork

  1. Place the pork meat-side down in a foil tray, or wrap foil around the base to catch juices.

  2. Lightly oil the skin.

  3. Air fry at 160°C for 30 minutes.

  4. Increase heat to 230°C and cook for a further 10 minutes to crisp the crackling.

  5. Remove from the air fryer and let the pork rest before slicing.

3. Make It a Banh Mi (Optional)

  1. Spread pâté inside a fresh, crusty baguette.

  2. Add sliced cucumber and grated carrot.

  3. Layer in slices of crispy pork belly.

  4. Drizzle with hoisin sauce.

  5. Finish with coriander, crispy shallots and fresh chilli.

  6. Serve immediately.
