Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Char Siu Pork
- Begin by cutting the pork shoulder into 2-inch thick strips. In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, molasses, minced garlic, five spice powder, and salt. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade. Place pork in a ziplock bag with marinade, ensuring each piece is coated, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the maltose for about 10-15 seconds. Mix with the reserved marinade and a splash of hot water until it reaches a drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes. Prepare the lined tray using parchment paper.
- Place the marinated pork strips into the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Brush tops with the prepared glaze. Air fry for 12 to 16 minutes, flipping every 3 to 4 minutes, and keep glazing as they cook.
- Remove pork from the basket and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice against the grain and serve over steamed rice or noodles. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month.
