It seems Pulled Meat and Slow Cooked Roast are trendy these days. But here in Australia, the cost of gas and electricity is sky-rocketing and I don’t want to cook for 8 hour or 10 hours. I want to cook quickly. Then a pressure cooker comes in handy.

Steps

1

If you want to cook Pulled Pork, cut the Pork Roast in half or quarters, so that the meat will be cooked extra tender.
2

Heat Oil in a frying pan over a high heat and brown the Pork all over. *Note: This process can be skipped.
3

Place Onion, Ginger and Garlic in the pot, place Pork on the vegetables.
4

Mix Hot Water, Sake, Sugar, Soy Sauce and Chilli (*optional) in a bowl and pour over the Pork.
5

Start cooking over a high to medium heat. Once the pressure is on, reduce the heat to medium low, cook for 30 minutes. Let it cool under pressure.
6

When the lid can be removed, simmer uncovered until the sauce thickened.
