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. 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. 2

    In a large mixing bowl or zip-top bag, add the pork belly cubes.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, shaking 2-3 times while cooking to rotate the cubes.

  6. 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.
