My Simmered Pork Recipe♪ Easy Char Siu in a Pressure Cooker
Story Behind this Recipe
I used a 2.5 liter pressure cooker. Storebought char siu pork has preservatives that I worry about, so I make my own instead. I poach the meat in sake to prevent it from becoming tough, and use as little soy sauce as possible in the seeping sauce.

Helpful Hints
Brown the meat to seal in the juices.
If you poke the meat several times with a skewer before putting in the bag, the sauce flavors will penetrate well.
The flavors will blend easily if you put the bag with the meat in a bowl and turn it over occasionally.
