Air Fryer Marinated Pork Belly, or inihaw na liempo, is a delightful twist on a classic Filipino dish that perfectly marries traditional flavours with modern cooking techniques. The rich, succulent pork belly is marinated in a vibrant blend of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and a splash of citrus, allowing the flavours to infuse deeply into the meat. Once marinated, it's placed in the air fryer, where the hot air circulates, creating a wonderfully crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
As the pork belly cooks, the enticing aroma fills the kitchen, reminiscent of family gatherings and sunny barbecues. The air fryer not only reduces cooking time but also requires little to no oil, making this a healthier option without compromising on taste. Serve the pork belly with a side of steamed rice and a fresh vegetable salad, and you've got a dish that's both satisfying and utterly delicious, bringing a touch of the Philippines to your dining table.
