In this case it’s twice-cooked pork, initially gently boiled then fried in oil, veg and plenty of chilli and garlic. Traditionally this would be fried in a wok, it’s so convenient on a busy day to be able to throw it in the air fryer and get a couple more things done while it cooks.

Method
Step 1
Add the pork belly to a pot of boiling water with the grated ginger, and simmer over a low heat for about an hour. This makes it incredibly moist. Allow to cool slightly and then slice lengthways and again into bitesize chunks.
Step 2
Add the pork to the air fryer drawer along with all the other ingredients, apart from the fresh chilli and garlic, and cook at 200ºC (390ºF) for 8–10 minutes. Add the chilli and garlic, then shake and cook for a further 4 minutes. For more healthy low calorie air fryer recipes take a look at The Healthy Air Fryer Book.
