It’s my third dish using my Instant Pot and I’m truly happy with the result! The pork belly is short and tender, white radish is really flavorful and eggs are perfect to go together.

I cooked this on the night before to absorb more flavours as well as I can remove more fat coming from the pork.

Steps

1

Cut white radish into half-moon slices. Cut pork belly.
2

Without adding oil, cook pork belly in a pan until the surface gets slightly burned.
3

(Boil the pork belly to get rid of fat) Put the pork belly in the Instant Pot together with all ◎ ingredients (water, ginger, onions). Select ‘Pressure cook’, choose ‘Low pressure’ and set 15 mins. Manually release the pressure once it’s finished cooking.
4

Reduce the water(broth) to around 300ml. Add all ★ ingredients (soy sauce, Sake, sugar, honey). Select ‘Pressure cook’, and set 5 mins. Once it’s cooked, you can choose either manual pressure release or just let it release the pressure if you have time.
5

Prepare half boiled eggs. Add the half boiled eggs in the pot and cover with the sauce.
6

Leave it overnight. If your room is warm, keep it in the fridge. In the morning, take out all the white fat on the surface.
7

Reheat when you eat and sprinkle some spring onion on top.
