Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the ground bean sauce, hoisin, red fermented bean curd, Shaoxing wine, red wine, garlic salt, sugar, black pepper and five spice. Mash the bean curd and mix until smooth. Taste and adjust.
2. Cut the pork butt into thin strips against the grain, cutting them shorter if needed to fit the air fryer tray.
3. Prick both sides of the pork all over with a fork.
4. Put the pork in a zip-top bag, add the marinade, and massage it through the pork from the outside of the bag for about 1 minute. Press out the air and seal.
5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
6. About 1 hour before cooking, take the pork out to come to room temperature.
7. Arrange the pork on the air fryer tray with space between pieces. Air-fry at 385°F for 20 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes, remove the tray, brush the pieces with honey, flip the meat and return it to the air fryer.
9. After another 10 minutes, remove the tray and brush the remaining honey on top of each piece.
10. Return the tray for 1 to 2 minutes for a final char.
11. Rest the pork for 10 to 20 minutes. Optionally glaze with more honey and rest another 10 to 20 minutes.
12. Cut into ½-inch slices with tongs, only if serving immediately.
