Recipe Tips
Marinate the meat if you have time. Use a mixing bowl or place it in a Ziploc bag for 2- 4 hours so the meat really absorbs the sauce. Use a sharp knife and trim off any fat from the pork.You can sear the meat on all sides for extra flavor. You can easily brown the pork right in the Instant Pot or use a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop.
If you crave a little more heat, add extra sriracha sauce or toss in some chili flakes.The nature pressure release took about 25 minutes.Finish the pork under the broiler to caramelize for even more flavor.
