  3. Mix together the remaining 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of salt and baking soda and rub into fat side of pork belly. Place pork belly on a small rack, fat side up, on a small baking sheet or pan and refrigerate uncovered for 12 hours. 
  4. Place pork belly into air fryer at 300ºF (150ºC) for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
