Instructions
Pat dry your pork butt with paper towels. Slice pork butt into two long equal pieces with enough fat marbling through each piece. Approximate dimensions: 2 inches thick x 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. It's okay if you're off by a few centimeters.
In a medium size bowl, combine Marinade ingredients and mix until smooth. You may need a fork to mash the fermented red bean curd.
Place both pieces of pork in a Ziploc bag or large bowl. Pour marinade over the pork and ensuring most of pork is covered by the marinade. If you're using a Ziplock bag, squeeze out any air pockets. If you're using a large bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.
In a small bowl, combine Basting Glaze and mix well until smooth.
Lightly spray vegetable oil or any neutral oil into air fryer basket. Place marinated pork into air fryer basket in a single layer giving each piece enough space for air circulation.

Very juicy, flavourful and just like Chinese takeout!
Thank you! I've tried yesterday, really not bad!
Using Country Style Ribs is a good option. They are available almost every where, cut in the right size already and made from pork butt.
Fantastic!!!! 5 stars is an understatement!
