Pros: so easy with the pressure cooker
Cons: need a pressure cooker
Ingredients:
3 lbs of pork butt
2 cups of mushrooms
10 cloves of garlic
1/2 yellow onion
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
3 tablespoons of Worcestershire
6 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
6 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons of Asian five spice
2 teaspoons of powdered ginger (or fresh)
MSG
Add everything except your pork in a food processor and blend until liquified. If you're using fresh ginger, you'll probably need 2 tablespoons.
Sear the pork in your Instapot. If using another pressure cooker or slow cooker, sear your pork in a pan.
When you have a nice brown color on all sides of your pork, add in your marinade.
Pressure cook your meat for 1 hour on high. When done, allow your pressure cooker to naturally release steam for an additionally 20 minutes.
Carefully remove your pork from the liquid in your pot and chop or shred it into small pieces.
Reduce the remaining pork sauce in your Instapot or in a separate pan. It should take about 10 minutes to get a thick consistency.
Serve your pork however you'd like... just don't forget to add a few spoonfuls of your sauce!
