Char Siu Pork

Recipes, Pressure Cooker, Shoulder Roast

We aren’t sure how the name is pronounced either… It’s tasty though, and that’s the important part! You can use your pressure cooker or Instant Pot for this one.

Here’s a link to the original recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot

  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Combine the first 7 ingredients; pour into a large shallow dish. Cut roast in half; add to dish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 
  2. Transfer pork and marinade to a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add chicken broth. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 75 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. 
  3. Remove pork; when cool enough to handle, shred meat using 2 forks. Skim fat from cooking juices. Return pork to pressure cooker. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat; heat through. Press cancel. Top pork with fresh cilantro.
