Pork ‘Kakuni’, a very popular Japanese dish, requires long slow cooking, but it can be cooked quickly and easily if you have a pressure cooker. This is my Pilipino Pork Adobo inspired ‘Kakuni’ that is cooked with extra ingredients such as Garlic, Bay Leaves and Vinegar. Pork Abode is cooked with Black Peppercorn, but I added Chilli which I prefer.
