Ingredients
  • 3 Lbs. 1-2" pieces of Pork Shoulder or Leg
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1 tsp. Ginger grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic grated
  • 1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Chinese Rice Wine or Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Chinese Five Spice Powder
  • 1 tsp. Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp. Red Food Coloring
Instructions
  1. Cut up pork belly or pork shoulder in about 2" pieces (leaving fat on it as it keeps the pork moist while cooking).

  2. In a large seasoning bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, honey, five spice, sesame oil, wine or apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and food coloring in a bowl to make the marinade (BBQ sauce).

  3. Rub the pork with the marinade in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 8 hours. Keep the reserve marinade in the fridge as well.

  4. When ready to cook, heat up pressure cooker on high. Add about 2 Tbsp. oil. Add pork to the pot and the marinade, stir to brown for a minute or 2. When pressure cooker starts to make the loud pressuring noise, cook for about 20 minutes. It should be fully soft. Place in a baking pan and broil for about 10 minutes.
