Air Fryer Cha Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)

Ingredients

  • 2 lb pork shoulder or butt

Marinade

  • 3 tbsp char siu sauce 
  • 1 tbsp honey 
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce 
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine 
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced 
  • 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder 
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper 

Basting Sauce

  • 2 tbsp reserved marinade 
  • 2 tbsp honey 
  • 2 tbsp water 

Instructions

  1. Slice the pork into 1-inch thick pieces. Use a fork to poke small holes on both sides to help the marinade absorb. 
  2. In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture for basting, and combine with honey and water in a separate bowl. 
  3. Add pork and marinade into a zip-top bag. Massage to coat evenly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours for extra flavor). 
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook pork for a total of 12 minutes, basting both sides every 4 minutes (you’ll baste twice). 
  5. Once cooked, let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
