Asian Style Aromatic Pulled Pork
This is the perfect recipe for the pressure cooker; it produces meltingly tender meat in 70 minutes.
Fabulous for a party, simply prepare everything in advance and just let the pressure cooker do all the
work. The pork does benefit from marinating in the spice rub overnight.
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
• 2.5 kg pork shoulder, remove rind and fat
Sauce
• 1-2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 onion, peeled and sliced into thick rings
• 2 tbsp. light soy sauce
• 3 tbsp. hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp. rice vinegar or cider vinegar
• 8 tbsp. water
• 1 tbsp. runny honey
Method
1. Remove the rind from the pork and remove as much fat using a sharp knife as you can. Cut the
pork into 4 large pieces, set aside for a minute.
2. Make the spice rub by blitzing the ingredients in a spice grinder or pounding with a pestle and
mortar, until you have a powder. Using your hands rub this into the pieces of pork then place in
a bowl and cover with cling film. Marinate this overnight in the fridge if you can, if not as long as
possible.
3. When ready to cook, sear the pieces of pork in a little oil on the BROWNING function until brown
on all sides, remove from the pot for a minute. Cancel the browning function.
4. Add the onion in a layer on the bottom of the cooking pot and add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce,
rice/cider vinegar and water. Sit the pork on top and turn the meat over to coat it in the sauce.
5. Select the MEAT function and increase the time to 70 minutes, cook under pressure. When the
pork has finished cooking, release the pressure. Remove the pork from the pot and place on a
serving plate and spoon a little of the cooking liquid over it. Leave the meat to rest covered with
foil for 10-15 minutes.
6. While the meat is resting, bring the cooking liquid to the boil on the SAUTÉ function and add the
honey, leave this to reduce down to a thick consistency. Strain through a sieve if desired.
7. When ready to serve, shred the meat with two forks.
8. Serve the pulled pork piled onto a tortilla wrap with cucumber and spring onion strips and a good
drizzle of the sauce, roll up and eat.
