How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh pork belly
- When buying pork belly, you should choose pieces that are bright pink in color with a balanced ratio of fat and lean meat, so that it is not too dry from too much lean or too greasy from too much fat.
- In addition, good pork belly will have good elasticity with the characteristic smell of fresh meat. The fat and skin are tightly attached to each other.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that have pale colors with strange odors and ooze water when touched, as these are meats that have been kept for too long and are no longer fresh.
How to choose clean, crispy, and sweet potatoes
- When buying potatoes, you should prioritize choosing those with smooth, intact skins, featuring a characteristic light yellow color and no deep spots or black eyes on the skin.
- Additionally, you should select potatoes that feel firm and heavy when held. Potatoes without deep dents will make the preparation process before cooking much quicker.
- Avoid buying sprouted potatoes or those whose outer skin has turned green, as these are toxic potatoes and cannot be eaten.

Prepare the ingredients
When you buy potatoes, rinse them briefly with water to remove any dirt (if any), then use a knife to peel the skin and cut the potatoes horizontally into slices about 1/3 of a finger thick.
Next, soak each sliced potato in a bowl of cold water for about 2 minutes, then take them out, rinse with water, and let them drain.
For garlic and shallots, simply peel them and crush them.
After washing the bell pepper, remove the seeds inside and cut the flesh into small pieces.
Wash the green onions, remove the roots, and cut them into pieces about 1.5 fingers long.
To eliminate the unpleasant smell, rub salt evenly around the pork belly, then rinse with water and cut it into pencil-shaped pieces.

Bake the potatoes and briefly fry the meat
After draining the potatoes, place them in the air fryer with a layer of paper towels underneath, set the temperature to about 140 degrees Celsius, and time for 8 minutes until the potatoes are slightly browned on the edges, then transfer them to a plate.
Next, place a non-stick pan on the stove, then add the pork belly and fry evenly on low heat for about 3 minutes until the meat is browned on the edges and some fat has rendered out, then turn off the heat.
