Cut the bone off the pork belly if it has one, which can be saved for making ribs later.

Slice the pork belly into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 centimeters squared.

Season the pork with a little bit of oil and spices, ensuring to add salt if using different spices.

Mix the pork and seasoning roughly; it doesn't have to be perfect.

Place the pork in the air fryer with the fat side facing up.

Set the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius for 16 minutes.

At the halfway mark, shake the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and that the spices stay on the pork.

Once done, remove the pork and place it on a paper towel to keep it crispy.

Serve the pork hot, optionally with sweet and sour sauce on the side.
