Easy Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork

Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 75 mins Total Time: 1 hour 55 min Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 – 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 4 lbs. of boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2 pieces
• 2 cups of barbecue sauce, divided
• 1/2 cup of water

Preparation:

1. Choose the Browning mode and add oil to the cooking pot. When the cooker is hot, put the pork and make it brown on both sides, is going to take around 3 minutes on each side. Brown each half of the roast separately. Once is browned place it onto a platter.
2. Add 1 cup of barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of water to the cooking pot. Stir until blended. Then add the browned pork and any accumulated juices into the cooker.
3. Now choose the High-Pressure mode and set the timer for 75 minutes. Once you hear the beep from the pot, turn off the pressure cooker and use the natural pressure release, which is going to take around 20 minutes to release all the pressure. When the valve drops remove the lid with caution. Then carefully remove the meat from the pressure cooker and shred it with two forks, discard excess fat as you shred. (You can also use your stand mixer to shred the pork.)
4. Strain cooking liquid, reserving 1/2 cup. (You can use a fat separator to separate the fat from the juices.)
5. Place shredded pork in the cooking pot with the remaining 1 cup barbecue sauce and reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
6. Serve on toasted rolls with additional barbecue sauce if desired.

Tip: When doing this recipe don’t replace for a leaner cut of meat. The pork shoulder will release a big amount of juices and fat and your meat will be super tender and flavorful. In case you are using a stovetop pressure cooker, you may need to increase the water if your pressure cooker loses a lot of liquid during cooking.

INSTANT POT ORANGE CHICKEN

Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Total Time: 30 min Serves: 4-6

This last one has a few more steps than the previous ones but it’s really a hot recipe, and if well comes with some extra steps it only will take you 30 mins to have it ready!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of chicken breast or thighs cut into 1-2 inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  Sauce:
• 1 cup of orange juice without any sugar in it
• 1 tablespoon of ginger grated
• 6 cloves garlic, minced (3-4 cloves only, if you aren’t a big fan of garlic)
• 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry white wine ( if you don’t have or like wine on your meal you can skip it)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce optional
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup lite soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• zest from 1 orange
  Cornstarch Slurry:
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
  Garnish:
• 4 green onions sliced
• extra orange zest

Preparation:

1. Keep in mind that the chicken needs to be dry and not have any extra moisture, dry it with a few paper towels, and after that cut the chicken into 1-2 inch chunks.
2. Then start to heat up the pressure cooker on the Sauté mode, click on the Adjust button then select “More” to get the Sauté mode extra functions, which means that the food will be sautéed over medium-high heat. Wait for the Instant Pot indicator to show HOT.
3. Then add the oil and the chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times. Cook up until the chicken starts to get golden. When sautéing it, stir all the time so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
4. After you sauté the chicken, check if any part got stuck into the bottom, in case that happened just deglaze the pot with 1/4 cup orange juice and scrape them with a wooden spoon. If you leave the bits stuck to the bottom, they may burn or cause the pot will not get the needed pressure.
5. Add the Sauce ingredients to the pot: remaining 3/4 cups of orange juice, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, white sugar, brown sugar, rice wine, orange zest, and Sriracha sauce. You can skip the Sriracha sauce or add more if you prefer your food on the spicier side. ( You can also instead of Sriracha use red pepper flakes)
6. Add the tomato sauce if you are using it. The tomato sauce adds a tanginess to the overall sweet recipe, and it makes it taste more savory. It is based on your own preference. You can use less, or completely leave it out if you want a pure orange aroma.
7. Stir gently until all the ingredients are combined and coated in sauce.
8. Then close the lid, choose the Manual mode, and select 5 minutes on High Pressure. Make sure the vent is closed.
9. Use a 10-minute Natural Release. Turn off the heat. Release the remaining pressure by opening the vent. Open the lid.
10. Now choose once again the Sauté mode, on LOW. In a medium bowl combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with the orange juice, whisk until all combined with no lumps.
11. Add the mixture to the Instant Pot and gently stir to combine. Cook on Sauté mode for a few more minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
12. If you want the sauce even thicker, mix one more tablespoon of cornstarch with orange juice and add it to the pot.
13. Let the Orange Chicken stand for 5-7 minutes, the sauce will thicken more.
14. Serve over rice and garnish with fresh chopped green onions and extra orange zest.
