PRESSURE COOKER KALUA PORK RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Select Browning and add oil to the cooking pot. When hot, brown pork roast on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Brown each half of the roast separately. Remove to a platter when browned. Turn pressure cooker off and add water and liquid smoke to the cooking pot. Add browned roasts and any accumulated juices to the pot. Sprinkle the salt over the top of the pork roasts. Select High Pressure and set timer for 90 minutes. When beep sounds, use a natural pressure release to release pressure (approximately 20 minutes). When valve drops carefully remove lid. Remove the meat from the pressure cooker and shred with two forks (discard excess fat as you shredded). Add some of the juices from the pressure cooker to moisten the meat. Based on using a 6 quart Cuisinart electric pressure cooker. Using a manual cooker, your times may be different.

KALUA PORK WITH PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• For the kalua pork: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Season the pork with the salt and chipotle. Grill the pork until charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork, onion, jalapeno and pineapple to a pressure cooker and cook for 35 minutes.
• For the pineapple rice: Bring the rice and 2 cups water to a boil in a pot. Turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the Spam and cook until it gets some color and crisps up a bit, about 5 minutes. Then, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pineapple and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Once the rice is done, fold it into the pineapple mixture and season with the vinegar, salt and pepper.
• For the unagi sauce: Bring the mirin and sake to a boil in a saucepan. Add the sugar and cook until dissolved. Then add the soy sauce and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then mix 1/4 cup of the unagi sauce with the mayonnaise.
• To assemble the bowl: Place the pineapple rice on the bottom of a bowl. Place some of the cooked pork on top of the rice. Add a dollop of the unagi mayonnaise over the pork and garnish with green onions and toasted black sesame seeds.

KALUA PIG IN 6-QT ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Place bacon slices flat on the bottom of the pressure cooker pot. Press "Saute" button. Brown bacon and flip to brown the other side. When browned on both sides, turn off pressure cooker.
• Cut the roast into 3 equal pieces. With a sharp knife, makes slits in the roast and place the garlic there.
• Use 3/4 teaspoon of medium-coarse salt for every 1 pound of meat; if using fine salt, use half as much. Sprinkle salt evenly over the pork.
• Place the salted pork on top of the bacon - it needs to sit in one layer.
• Pour in water.
• Secure lid.
• Press "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button (if using Instant Pot). Immediately press the + button until you have set the time for 90 minutes under high pressure. (If using a stovetop pressure cooker, cook on high heat until high pressure is reached, then lower heat to maintain high pressure for 75 minutes.).
• The electric pressure cooker will switch to a "Keep Warm" setting about 10 minutes after pressure cooking has stopped. It can sustain "Keep Warm" for 10 hours, if necessary.
• Allow pressure to reduce naturally. If you are impatient, allow it to reduce pressure for at least 15 minutes before manually releasing remaining pressure.
• Remove the pork and place in a large bowl. Place the cabbage wedges into the cooking liquid.
• Secure the lid. Pressure cook the cabbage for 2 minutes at high pressure. After pressure cooking has finished, allow it to reduce pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then quickly manually release any remaining steam.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork, and apportion into bowls. Place a wedge of cooked cabbage on top of each portion.
• Refrigerated leftovers will keep for 4 days; frozen will keep several months.
