My 2nd trial of airfried char siew using pork belly!! Improved version!!
My whole family liked it and said that no need to buy from outside liao!! Their comments really made my day and I am so happy!! :D
This time, I used honey instead of sugar to marinate the meat. On the first time when I made char siew, I used the shoulder cut which is too lean so this time I used pork belly instead.
