Ingredients

Marinade
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
Red food coloring (optional)
Pork
2 lbs pork tenderloin or boneless pork shoulder, cut into long strips

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Combine all marinade ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting.

  2. 2

    Coat pork strips in marinade. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, overnight is best.

  3. 3

    Remove from marinade. Air fry at 360°F for 12 minutes, turning once.

  4. 4

    Brush with reserved marinade. Increase to 400°F and cook 6-8 more minutes, basting every 2 minutes, until charred and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Rest 5 minutes. Slice thin and serve with steamed rice and bok choy.

💡

Tip: The multiple basting rounds build up layers of lacquered glaze — don't skip them. Pork shoulder has more marbling and flavor; tenderloin is leaner but dries out faster. If using tenderloin, don't overcook past 145°F.
