A friend gave me a pressure cooker, so I tried making simmered pork belly with it, something I was never good at before. My husband used to make it for me before, but I got a bit competitive, and looked at lots of cookbooks to come up with my own adaptation...and this is the result.

Adjust the final simmering time to your taste. The pork is delicious even without this simmering step, but it makes it taste richer, so I simmer it down until it's almost too much. It becomes almost too rich... It can burn easily, so pay attention. Recipe by ange

Terrific recipe. My (Japanese) husband thought it was perfect and he is incredibly picky :-) One tip--the second time the meat goes into the Instant Pot, put a small bowl with 2 or 3 raw eggs (in the shell) in the center, and cook with the meat as the recipe directs for 10 min. After you release, remove the bowl & eggs, cool under water, peel and add back in as the sauce reduces.
