You Can Cut it with Chopsticks: Tender Pork Chunks Using a Pressure Cooker

This dish is often requested no matter how many times I make it.
This turns out really tender, so it is easy for elderly people to eat as well; when I have lots of people coming over, I make this in an iron pot.
The meat is of course delicious, but the eggs that absorb the broth is superb.

The excess grease is cooked out by thoroughly cooking the meat.
This will produce surprisingly tender stewed meat chunks by pressure cooking it twice.
When opening the lid, please make sure that the pressure has dissipated.
The traits of each pressure cooker is different, so please be careful. Recipe by sachie mama
