• 1–2 tablespoons of crispy frying flour or cornstarch.
• 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.

Marinate thoroughly: After cleaning the pork ribs, mix them with the trio of spices (garlic and pepper) and all the seasonings. Massage the mixture well, then add the crispy frying flour and a little vegetable oil. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Arrange in the air fryer: Place the pork ribs in the air fryer basket carefully, making sure not to pile them too thickly. This allows hot air to circulate evenly, ensuring all pieces cook and crisp uniformly.

Set the temperature to 180°C and cook for about 15 minutes. Halfway through, open the fryer and flip the pork ribs to achieve an even golden color on both sides.

For extra crispiness and a drier texture, increase the temperature to 200°C for an additional 3–5 minutes at the end. This will deliver a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
