Braised pork is a savory and satisfying dish that can be made quickly and easily in an Instant Pot. With the right ingredients and a few simple steps, you can enjoy a delicious meal that the whole family will love.
Tender and Flavorful Pork Shoulder
Start by seasoning a pork shoulder with salt, pepper, and any other spices of your choice. Sear the meat in the Instant Pot to lock in flavor and create a delicious caramelized crust.
Add a mixture of chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar to the pot. Pressure cook on high for about 60 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally.
Once the pork is tender and falling apart, remove it from the pot and shred it with a fork. Serve the braised pork shoulder over rice or with steamed vegetables for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Sweet and Tangy Pork Ribs
For a sweet and tangy twist on braised pork, try making pork ribs in the Instant Pot. Start by marinating the ribs in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and vinegar for at least one hour.
Place the ribs in the Instant Pot along with the marinade and some additional chicken broth. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes, then use the quick release function to vent the pressure.
Once the ribs are tender and cooked through, remove them from the pot and brush them with a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Broil the ribs in the oven for a few minutes until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Serve the sweet and tangy pork ribs with a side of rice or coleslaw for a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
In conclusion, braised pork dishes are easy to make in the Instant Pot and require minimal effort for maximum flavor. Whether you prefer tender pork shoulder or sweet and tangy pork ribs, these recipes are sure to become a family favorite. Give them a try today and enjoy a delicious meal in no time!
