Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs skin-on pork belly
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/8 teaspoon (pinch) ground white pepper

Directions

Combine salt, sugar, Chinese five-spice powder, and ground white pepper in a bowl and rub this mixture onto the pork belly, including the skin.

Wrap the meat part of the pork belly with saran wrap or foil but keep the skin uncovered. Store in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the skin dry out completely.

Place pork belly skin side-up in an air fryer (no foil). Set temperature to 375°F for 40 minutes. No need for flipping.
