Airfried Roast Pork/ Sio Bak
Never in my life would I even imagine an attempt to make roast pork, if not for my airfryer. I’ve seen Mum make this, I think, in her convection oven, and while the result is a glorious, juicy piece of meat with crispy crackling, fumbling with a huge-ass machine isn’t exactly my kinda thing.

The strong garlic flavour contrasts with the hint of lemon.. and the fresh chilli gives it just the subtle kick that it needs. Don’t use chilli padi for this. You don’t want the heat to overtake the flavour of the fish.
