How to Make Air Fryer Teriyaki Pork Skewers

If you're searching for a quick and delicious weeknight meal, Air Fryer Teriyaki Pork Skewers are the perfect solution. This delightful dish marries the rich flavours of teriyaki sauce with tender pork, all cooked to perfection in your air fryer.

Ingredients:

• 500g pork tenderloin, cut into cubes
• 100ml teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• Fresh ginger, grated (to taste)
• Spring onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the pork cubes with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes—if time permits, overnight in the fridge will amplify the flavours.

2. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated pork onto the skewers. If you're using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F) and preheat it for 5 minutes.

4. Cook the Skewers: Once preheated, place the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking. The pork should be slightly caramelised and cooked through.

5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the air fryer. Sprinkle with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair these delicious skewers with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy the mouth-watering taste of air-fried teriyaki pork skewers that are not only delightful but also a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods!
