He said: "If you've ever made this dish the traditional way, you'll know it's a labour of love", explaining that if you're "impatient" like him, it can be an effective way to make the dish quicker.
To try the recipe yourself, he says all you need to do is e then says you need to poke holes in the skin of the pork belly, then square the meat and brush it with a hoi sin and xiao xing wine mix.
You then need to bring salt, sugar, white pepper, garlic powder, and five spice together and massage the meat with it. Then wrap the bottom in foil, brush the skin with vinegar, and cover in salt to "dry out the skin."
Then simply air fry at 200 degrees for 30 minutes, scrape off the salt and brush the skin with oil. Then air fry again at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until the skin is "GBD", which stands for "golden, brown, delicious."
In the comments, people were really impressed with how delicious the offering looked.
One wrote: "Air fryer haters are the ones who don't have one."
"I wanna try this bro this looks good", someone complimented.
"The crunch is so satisfying", another raved.
