Using a sharp knife, cut 1½ pounds pork belly, into 1-inch bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 cloves garlic, minced and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Whisk to combine.
Add the pork belly pieces to the bowl with the marinade, stirring to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Place the marinated pork belly pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry the pork belly at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. Open the air fryer to shake or flip the pork belly pieces every few minutes. This will ensure they get crispy all over! Increase the time or temperature if needed to help crisp the pieces to your liking.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, then enjoy over rice or in bao buns!
