Here's the recipe for Air Fryer Crispy Skin Pork Belly:

Ingredients:

1 lb pork belly slab
2 tsp salt (for meat)
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
2 tsp Chinese fermented black bean sauce (ground)
2 tsp baking soda (for skin)
2 tsp salt (for skin)
Water for marinating skin

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pork belly by cutting it into a size that will fit in your air fryer. Make slits about two fingers width apart on the meat side.
2. Marinate the meat side with 2 tsp salt, white pepper, Chinese five-spice powder, and Chinese bean sauce. Massage the seasonings into the meat and flip the pork belly over.
3. For the skin side, sprinkle 2 tsp baking soda over it and add 1 tsp water. Massage the baking soda mixture into the skin until it's evenly coated. Then, sprinkle 2 tsp salt over the skin and add another 1 tsp water. Massage the salt mixture into the skin.
4. Place the marinated pork belly on a tray and refrigerate uncovered overnight.
5. The next day, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pork belly and parboil for 5 minutes to remove impurities and add moisture to the meat.
6. Remove the pork belly from the boiling water and use BBQ forks to poke holes all over the skin side.
7. Line the air fryer basket with tin foil and place the pork belly meat-side up. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes.
8. Take the pork belly out and poke the skin side again with the BBQ forks. 9. Flip the pork belly over, so the skin side is facing up, and air fry at 200°C (400°F) for another 25 minutes.
10. Remove the crispy pork belly from the air fryer and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into pieces.

Serve the Air Fryer Crispy Skin Pork Belly with steamed rice and enjoy the crunchy, crackling skin and tender, juicy meat.
