Steps

1

Cut the pork belly into large pieces. Sear them in a skillet until browned on all sides.
2

Place the pork in a pressure cooker. Add the remaining ingredients on top, placing the scallion greens last. Lock the lid and cook under pressure for 30 minutes.
3

Once the pressure has released and the lid can be opened, transfer everything to a regular pot. Simmer over medium heat to reduce the sauce. If you want to add hard-boiled eggs, do so now. Occasionally shake the pot to prevent sticking.
4

When the sauce has reduced to about two-thirds and becomes glossy, it's done. For best flavor, let it cool completely, then reheat before serving.
5

For extra flavor, try adding 8 to 10 cloves of garlic, halved with skins on, in step 3. It will change the aroma significantly.
