Using ground pork? It behaves the way it does for a reason — what this cut is for and how to cook it →
Yes — this is exactly what an air fryer does well. Work in a single layer so the air can move, and shake or flip halfway for even crisping. It runs a touch faster than the oven, so check early.
Yes — it freezes well. Cool it fully, portion into airtight containers, and it keeps a few months; thaw in the fridge and reheat gently.
Yes — it needs the chill time to set, so making it ahead is the whole point.

No — it contains meat, so it isn’t vegetarian or vegan.
Cooked it? Changed something that worked? Leave a note for the next person — first-name basis, no account.
