Essential kit
You will need: an air fryer. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook the pork in the oven at the same temperatures for the same length of time.
Method
Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 20 minutes marinating. Cooking time: 50 minutes.
Begin by placing the pork in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients, then massage them into the pork. Leave it to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat an air fryer to 160°C (325°F). Place the pork in the air fryer, saving the remaining marinade, and air-fry for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, brush the pork with the remaining marinade, increase the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and cook for a further 30 minutes.
Allow the cooked pork to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving with freshly steamed rice.
