Ingredients
  

For the Pork and Sauce
  • 1 pound Thinly sliced pork (boneless loin chops), cut into strips
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce (Use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup Honey (Maple syrup can be used)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (Optional ingredient)
  • 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (Adjust to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the pork into strips. Keep them fairly even for consistent cooking.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil (if using).
  3. Add the pork strips to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the pork in the air fryer, spreading them out to avoid overlapping.
  2. Cook until the pork is browned at the edges and cooked through, ensuring the thickest strips are no longer pink in the center.
Serving
  1. Serve hot while the glaze is sticky and shiny.

Notes

For best results, don’t overcrowd the air fryer, and toss the pork again before cooking to ensure even glazing. Adjust red pepper flakes for spice levels.
