Instructions

Step 1

Mix all your sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Slice your tofu into ½ inch-thick logs and set aside.

Step 3

Score the flesh part of your pork belly ½ inch deep and around 1 inch apart.

Step 4

Combine salt and white pepper and rub on the flesh part of your pork belly.

Step 5

Poke holes all over the skin of your pork belly and brush it with vinegar, then cover with kosher salt.

Step 6

Place the pork in one compartment of your air fryer and the tofu in the other after brushing the tofu with neutral oil.

Step 7

Air fry at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the tofu becomes golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the tofu once cooked and set aside.

Step 9

Scrape the salt layer off the pork belly, brush the skin with neutral oil, and air fry at 400°F for another 30 minutes or until the skin becomes crispy.

Step 10

Serve the tofu and pork belly together alongside the dipping sauce.

Pro Tips

#1

Scoring the pork belly helps the fat render and ensures the skin gets extra crispy.

#2

Poking holes in the pork skin is essential for achieving a crackling texture.

#3

Remove the tofu early to prevent it from drying out while the pork finishes crisping.

#4

Adjust the amount of chili peppers in the sauce to suit your heat preference.
