Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Slice pork belly into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 2
Arrange pork belly slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes.
- 3
Flip slices and air fry for another 8-10 minutes until edges are deeply caramelized and fat is rendered and crispy.
- 4
Mix doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and sesame seeds for the ssamjang dipping sauce.
- 5
Serve pork belly on a platter with lettuce leaves, sliced garlic, jalapeños, rice, and ssamjang for wrapping.
Tip: For the best results, partially freeze the pork belly for 30 minutes before slicing — it makes cutting uniform thin slices much easier.
