Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the marinated pork riblets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent even cooking and crisping.

Air fry the riblets for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are cooked through, nicely browned, caramelized, and have some crispy edges. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F.

While the pork is air frying, carefully pour any remaining marinade liquid (that has separated from the pork) from the mixing bowl into a small saucepan. Heat this liquid over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glossy, sticky sauce. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Once the air-fried riblets are done, transfer them back to the large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared sticky sauce over the hot riblets and toss gently to coat them evenly.

Transfer the sticky pork riblets to a serving plate. Arrange the sliced cucumber on the side. Garnish the riblets with freshly chopped green onions and sliced red chilies for a touch of freshness and heat. Serve immediately, perhaps with steamed rice.
