Once, while stopping by a local ramen shop, I was eating really delicious stewed pork chunks, and asked the store owner how to make them; they said that they boil it for hours to make the stewed pork chunks. I was wondering if I could make that restaurant's delicious stewed meat chunks in a short amount of time during the middle of my busy day, and came up with this.

It is important to wipe the pressure cooker clean in Step 4. This is done in order to get rid of the scum that surfaced from boiling the meat, and to make the final result look and taste good. Recipe by XLR250R.
