Indulging in the savory goodness of garlic soy pork belly strips bites has never been easier! 😋 This delightful treat makes for the perfect snack to elevate your New Year’s party.

Start by marinating your pork belly slices with a delicious mix. In a bowl, combine sweet soy sauce, thinly sliced garlic, a hint of chili, three green spring onions, ginger, a teaspoon of flavour enhancer, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Coat the pork belly well and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, to truly absorb those wonderful flavors.

When you're ready to whip up this tasty dish, prepare your sauce with sweet soy sauce, brown sugar, white wine vinegar, sliced garlic, chopped ginger, finely chopped red chili, and a splash of water.

For cooking, arrange the marinated pork belly in your air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there's ample space for optimal air circulation. Cook at 180°C for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for a uniform crispness—keeping a close eye to avoid overcooking.

Once they’re perfectly golden and crispy, let the pork belly slices rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice them up, drizzle with any remaining marinade or a bit more of your delicious sauce, and enjoy them with a sweet-spicy dip.

These golden bites are a staple in many dim sum menus, but making them at home has never been simpler. The air fryer ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the prawns succulent and flavourful.

Ingredients:

• 200g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Method:

1. Prepare the Prawns: In a food processor, blend the prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. The mixture should be thick enough to spread easily onto the bread.

2. Assemble: Spread a generous layer of the prawn mixture onto each slice of bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for that signature crunch.
