Steps

Cooking Thai Grilled Pork Jowl:
1. Pound cilantro roots, garlic, and black pepper into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
2. Mix the paste with all marinade ingredients.
3. Coat the pork jowl slices evenly and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
4. Air Fryer Method: Preheat to 175°C (350°F). Cook pork jowl for 15 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Grill over medium-high heat until nicely charred on both sides and cooked through.
5. Let the pork rest before slicing thinly. This helps lock in those flavorful juices then serving with Jaew Dipping Sauce.
