⭐ Air Fryer Stir Fry Ingredients 

Here’s what you need to make my air fryer recipe: 

• 1 lb. raw pork tenderloin (454 grams) 
• 1½ tablespoons olive oil or another cooking oil like avocado oil (you can skip the oil if you use a fattier cut of pork than tenderloin) 
• 14 ounces kimchi (397 grams)

I recommend finding seasoned pork tenderloin to add more flavor without a marinade. I used Smithfield’s roasted garlic and cracked black pepper pork tenderloin here. Yum! 

Since kimchi is so salty, you shouldn’t add additional salt to this recipe. Classic kimchi is often very spicy hot from the gochugaru. If you purchase mild kimchi and decide it’s too bland, sprinkle red pepper flakes on your finished stir fry to spice things up. 

To make stir fry in an air fryer, you can use your Ninja Foodi, Philips, Nuwave, Pampered Chef, Actifry, Instant Pot Vortex, Cosori, Breville, or another air fryer. However, the 8×8-inch (20x20cm) pan we’re using to cook the stir fry needs to be able to fit in your air fryer. 

If you have a small air fryer basket, try using a smaller metal pan and air frying stir fry in batches. Also, keep in mind that different air fryer brands cook differently. Check the food early the first time you try any new air fryer recipe to prevent overcooking. 

🍲 How to Make Pork Stir Fry in Air Fryer 

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to stir fry in the air fryer: 

1. Cut the pork tenderloin into ⅛-¼ inch strips. You want them to be very thin so they cook fast. 

2. Preheat the air fryer to 375F (190C) for 5 minutes. Mix the pork and oil together in a bowl. Spread the pork strips out on two heated air fryer oven trays. 

3. Cook one tray at a time in the air fryer, using the top rack position. Air fry for 4 minutes at 375F (191C), then flip the meat pieces and air fry 2-3 more minutes. Don’t try to make the pork very brown and crisp; it will dry out on you because it’s so lean. 

The minimum safe internal temperature for pork is 145F (63C). You can check the pork strips to ensure they’re thoroughly cooked. Air fry the second tray when the first is done. 

4. While the pork cooks, chop the kimchi into bite-size pieces. Line an aluminum baking pan with parchment paper. Place the kimchi (including any juice from the bottom of the jar) in the pan. 

5. Add the cooked pork strips to the kimchi in the pan and toss gently. Put the pan on a rack in the middle of the air fryer.
