Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground pork
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon pink curing salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix ground pork, sesame oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and curing salt together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.

Step 2

Using a jerky gun, form as many sticks as you can fit on all three of the air fryer oven racks. They will shrink almost immediately, so put them close together and utilize the full length of the racks. (I was able to get 21 sticks the first time.) Cover and refrigerate any leftover pork mixture.

Step 3

Set the air fryer to 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Place all 3 racks in the oven and cook for 1 hour.

Step 4

Remove racks from the oven, blot any excess moisture with paper towels, flip each stick, and cook for 1 more hour. Repeat once more.

Step 5

Transfer jerky sticks to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Cover with another layer of paper towels and let sit out until dried, about 8 hours.

Step 6

Meanwhile, repeat Steps 2 through 5 to make remaining jerky with leftover pork mixture.
