Pork Lard For Dinner

Scary or what? Well, it's not lard per se but pork belly chunks.


But it was labeled as "pork lard".


But no matter.


Arranged on my trusty perforated tray and cooked in the air fryer at 180C for 16 minutes.


Just out from the air fryer.


Nicely browned. 


I added kimchi, sauerkraut and pickles.


The extra fats that dripped onto the pyrex cover (under the perforated metal tray) was kept to use as cooking oil.


So delicious!

  2. Good 👍 to use the extra fats as cooking oil. Healthier than commercial processed mixed oil from many ingredients. So weird, why they label pork belly as pork lard. In jaya grocer, the pork lard is just all fats, no meat at all.

  3. When I saw your post title, I actually thought you were going to have pork lard for dinner (so, I wondered how much will be enough...hee..hee). So, no....it was just very fatty pork belly. Still scary! :D

  4. Pork lard is much more cheaper than pork belly, so it's good that you can accept the fatty pork belly and at the same time save the cost too, haha!
