Method
Step 1
Use a small sharp knife to score the rind at 1cm intervals. Place the pork, skin-side down, in a shallow dish. Pour over the wine or apple juice. Rub the meat with five spice, pepper and salt.
Step 2
Turn pork rind-side up and pat the rind dry with paper towel. Place in the fridge, uncovered, overnight to dry.
Step 3
Place the pork, rind-side up, on a large sheet of foil. Bring the edges of the foil up and scrunch slightly to make a ‘boat’. Brush rind with vinegar and sprinkle with rock salt.
Step 4
Preheat air fryer to 180°C. Cook the pork for 1 hour. Brush the rock salt off the rind. Increase air fryer to 200°C and cook pork for a further 8-10 mins or until the rind crackles. Set aside for 10 mins to rest.
Step 5
Thickly slice the pork. Transfer pork to a serving platter. Drizzle with hoisin sauce and sprinkle with coriander and chilli, if using, to serve.
