Ingredients
- 250 g thinly sliced pork belly
- 1 pack fresh enoki mushrooms
- to taste cooking oil spray
- 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning powder
- 1 head lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- 1Prepare the pork and enoki rolls
Take thin slices of raw pork belly and wrap them around small bundles of fresh enoki mushrooms. Secure each roll with a wooden toothpick to ensure they stay together during cooking.
Tip: Make sure to slice the pork belly thinly so it cooks evenly and wraps easily around the mushrooms. - 2Arrange in the air fryer
Line your air fryer basket with aluminum foil to catch drippings. Carefully place the assembled pork belly and enoki rolls into the basket, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
Tip: Arrange the rolls so they are not overcrowded, allowing the hot air to circulate properly. - 3Oil the rolls
Lightly spray the arranged pork belly and enoki rolls with oil. This helps them crisp up and prevents the mushrooms from drying out during the air frying process.
Tip: A light coating of oil is sufficient; too much may cause excess smoking in the air fryer. - 4Season the rolls
After air frying at 180°C for 10 minutes, open the basket, flip the rolls, and sprinkle generously with barbecue seasoning. Return to the air fryer for another 5 minutes until beautifully crisped and fragrant.
Tip: Add the seasoning halfway through to prevent the spices from burning during the initial high-heat stage.
