hi guys this is Jessie at Ice or Rice. today I'm going to show you how to make
this Taiwanese braised pork belly with a pressure cooker. it's one of the most
popular comfort foods in Taiwan, even in mainland China. The pork belly is cut
into small pieces and cooked to tender and juicy with a soy sauce based broth.
the pork melt in your mouth and make it the most comforting dish that you just
can't stop eating. so let's start cooking!
for the pork belly, we want to choose the one that has even layers with skin on
and then we are going to cut it into half inch strips
and then cut into pieces
cut the shiitake mushrooms into pieces
select the "sauté" function and then press "adjust" to switch to "more" for browning.
once the pot is hot, add vegetable oil to coat the bottom and then add pork belly.
give it a stir so that it's not sticking to the bottom
after three to five minutes, add ginger
garlic
mushrooms
dried shrimps, dark soy sauce for coloring and thicker texture
shaoxing wine
one cinnamon, star anise, rock sugar, and one cup of hot water
and lastly this fried shallot is a must ingredient to make this dish super delicious
so you can make this at home and I have the instruction below in the
recipe or you can buy it in an Asian grocery store.
after everything is added,
select the "manual" function and then set timer for 20 minutes.
for a regular pot you have to cook at least 1 hour to make the pork juicy and tender
now you just need 20 minutes. Looks good! Since we are using pork belly
we have to skim off the fatty oils from the top and then taste if you want to
add more soy sauce or dark soy sauce and this is up to you
I just added 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
and if you want to thicken the sauce mix 2 tablespoons
of water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and add it to the pork.
cook until the sauce is thickened.
tah-dah there's the pork-belly
does it look delicious? and then I make my own marinated soft-boiled egg
for the recipe of the egg, I have the link in the description below. don't forget to cook more rice!
