Recently on Twitter, you can find that Koreans are growing obsessed with the Air Fryer. For its healthier, easier, and safer process of cooking, the Air Fryer is rising as a new popular cooker (although no one can explain the reason behind its sudden popularity).
Of course, frozen foods are the most popular items to be air-fried. However, Koreans, who have grown tired of the less greasy French fries and chicken nuggets, came up with an unexpected array of ingredients that taste even better when cooked with the Air Fryer. Below are some of them.

When perfectly cooked, air-fried pork belly is perfectly crispy outside and juicy inside. Cook with whole garlic to enhance the flavor.

Crunchy air-fried ramen makes a perfect snack. Koreans usually sprinkle the powder on the top.

This is one of the biggest reasons Koreans are buying the machine. Gopchang, which is the intestine of pork or beef, is not the most desirable ingredient to cook at home, but people say that the Air Fryer makes it easier and more delicious.
