Notes

Storage: Guacamole browns fast, so press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to a day, a squeeze of extra lime helps too. Keep the crispy pork belly separate in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer or oven before topping, it goes soft in the microwave.
