Ingredients
- 1 pound pork belly
- 1/3 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup diced pineapple
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons adobo sauce
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, granulated garlic, & cumin
Directions
- 1
Using a sharp knife, cut the pork belly into 3/4-inch cubes. I recommend cutting it into strips first and then in the opposite direction to create cubes.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl or zip-top bag, add the pork belly cubes.
- 3
Add the pineapple juice, pineapple, brown sugar, soy sauce, adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, garlic, and cumin. Toss until well combined. Marinate for 4-6 hours.

After the pork has finished marinating, place the cubes in the air fryer basket. All of the pork cubes should fit in most large air fryers at once.
- 5
Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, shaking 2-3 times while cooking to rotate the cubes.
- 6
Air fry at 280 degrees 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 it at 280 degrees until it is tender.
