Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Oil the pork rolls
    A close-up of raw pork belly rolls wrapped around kimchi in an aluminum foil pan, being sprayed with cooking oil.

    Lightly spray a layer of cooking oil over the prepared pork belly and kimchi rolls. This helps the meat crisp up evenly and prevents it from drying out in the air fryer.

    Tip: A light coating is sufficient; too much oil may cause splattering.
  2. 2Season the meat
    Barbecue seasoning being sprinkled from a packet over raw pork rolls in an aluminum pan.

    Generously sprinkle your choice of barbecue seasoning over the pork belly rolls. Ensure an even coating to maximize flavor penetration during the cooking process.

    Tip: If you dont have a pre-made packet, a blend of chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and brown sugar works perfectly.
  3. 3Air fry the pork

    Carefully place the foil pan into the air fryer basket. Cook at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes until the pork is golden brown, the fat has rendered, and the rolls are sizzling.

    Tip: Check the meat around the 15-minute mark to ensure it isnt browning too quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinner, paper-thin slices work best as they wrap easily around the kimchi and cook through quickly. If using thick slices, you may need to increase the cooking time.
Using a wooden toothpick is the standard way to secure the roll. Ensure you insert it through the seam where the pork belly overlaps to keep it tight.
You can create a custom dry rub by mixing chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and a touch of brown sugar for sweetness.
