Air Fryer Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe

If you’re looking for a quick and delicious midweek meal, this Air Fryer Sweet and Sour Pork is the perfect solution. It combines tender pork with a vibrant, tangy sauce that’s bound to please the whole family.

To start, cut pork loin into bite-sized pieces and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and a hint of ginger for about 30 minutes. While the pork absorbs those delightful flavours, chop up some colourful peppers and pineapple chunks.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 390°F) and toss the marinated pork with a light coating of cornstarch to achieve that lovely crispy texture. Arrange the pork in the fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and a dash of soy sauce in a saucepan. Stir until it thickens slightly. Once the pork is cooked to perfection, mix it with the sautéed vegetables and pour over the sauce.

Serve it hot, preferably over a bed of fluffy rice, and enjoy the delightful contrast of flavours and textures. This air fryer recipe not only simplifies the cooking process but also delivers a healthier version of a classic favourite.
