4) Place the pork belly into the air fryer basket, skin side up.

5) Add the bruised lemongrass stick to the air fryer basket.

6) Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

7) Remove the pork belly and lemongrass stick from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

The lemongrass stick will infuse the pork belly with a delicious citrusy flavor. Enjoy your upgraded pork crackling cooked in the air fryer!



TIP
After step 7, remove the pork belly from the air fryer basket and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using a sharp knife, carefully separate the skin from the meat. Place the skin back into the air fryer basket, skin side down, and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the skin is extra crispy. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.

This method allows the skin to crisp up even more without overcooking the meat. Enjoy your delicious and crispy air fryer lemongrass pork crackling!
