I love my instapot but the saute isn't sufficient for browning. It boils or braises even if I let saute heat up for 10 minutes first. To get the flavor right I typically still do the browning on the stove top and I'll deglaze into the insta.
u know that korean chili paste? i throw that into mines and some cooking wine. garnish with chopped cilantro and spring onions. it take things to next level bro.
Short video, to the point, clear instructions, and you gave measurements for all the ingredients. 👍👍
Browning the pork??? Hi don’t see any browning
For those who where struggling to follow the recipe, just like me:
Dried shallots 3tbsp, minced garlic 2bsp, brown sugar 2tbsp, white pepper 1tsp, salt 1tsp, rice wine 2tbsp, dark soy sauce 2tbsp, a half cup of light soy sauce (125ml) and 3 and 3/4 cups of water (or 4 cups for slow cooker)
Try reducing to 1 cup of water for a thicker and less dilute sauce
My absolute favorite pork belly recipe. I substitute coconut aminos for all soy sauce due to allergy, no one can tell the difference! The eggs make it AMAZING. Thank you!
Hey! I just made this last night. Came out tasty. Just a heads up, she does not add any five spice in the video but her recipe says 1 teaspoon on the website. Don't forget it!
I made this tonight for dinner. Oh my goodness this was amazing and everyone loved it. I served it over egg fried rice. So, so good. I’ve subbed and am looking through your videos for more deliciousness.
i made this a couple months ago (without the 5 spice tho) and it was soooo good. came back here to make this again XD
A little less water would have made it perfect
I made this for lunch today! Nice, easy, tasty recipe. She mentions 5 spice in the end – after doing research on other braised pork recipes, a good amount of five spice to use is 1/2 teaspoon, put in with all the other ingredients before pressure cooking. 🙂 I also used a cornstarch slurry to thicken up the sauce in the end. Yummy recipe! Thanks for sharing.
Could you do more recipes with instant pot? 🙏🏻🙆🏻♀️
I just stumbled upon this video because of my love for pork belly 🤤. How’s the baby? Please be safe and take care!
Any tips on what to do with the leftover braising liquid? Seems like such a waste to toss it
OMG ! Cooking like that where got aroma ? Must stir fry them well to golden and fries then add in the water. Try it and I am sure you will find the differences. Sorry to say like this as I never touch if Braised Pork cooked this way. All my sister in laws even my late father in law said my Breaised Pork Belly tasted so good and smelled so good .
Hi Angel, need to consult you. I am cooking braised pork hocks and trotters using my Instant Pot. I usually used this pot for cooking congee and soup and it always show 30 mins. Tonight when I pushed the Meat Stew button, I was surprised to see only 20 mins. I thought it would show 30 mins. – 45 mins. Because cooking meat stew to my knowledge would take longer. Should I have used the Pressure Cook button instead like the way you did your pork belly?
Please advise. Thank you.
This is soooo amazing!
Thank you for your instruction! So Pretty!
Oh man that looks good an made me think of a recipe I haven’t made in awhile and wonder how to swap it from stove top to instant pot if even possible

Great idea, I feel like maybe too much liquid but we'll see! Wouldn't it be even better with some root veggies like carrots and potato?
Thank you Angel for your authentic (just how I remembered it as a kid) and easy-to-make recipe. My fiancé and I enjoyed this SO much last night! I boiled the meat first for 10-15 mins before sauteing them in my instant pot to remove all the gunk. Here's a little story I made for fun: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Nrz1ViPMYHWBzvu46
First recipe we used our instant pot for! We halved the recipe for two. Tweaked the final product- added a few drops of fish sauce and some kecap manis for more sweetness. Added a whole serrano and chopped green onion at the end and served it with steamed bokchoy. Bf loves it. Thank you so much!
Thank you and I will definitely try it.
Hi how do I achieve more of a glazed sauce rather than a really soupy sauce? It’s just too watery for me.
Great recipe. Tip: sear the meat in batches so you really get it nice and fragrant. Putting all the meat in the pot at once creates a lot of steam and the meat "boils".
I did this recipe and it's amazingly tasty. Uncomplicated, just put everything in that's it…tqtq..
It won’t brown if you crowd the pot
Apart from appearing too watery this looks like a very useful recipe. I've made this dish with the Instant Pot before, but this seems a bit quicker to prepare.
We had a family potluck yesterday and I would have used my usual go-to stovetop recipe for this but my in-laws were using my stove. So in a pinch, I went with your instant pot recipe instead. The result? It was a hit at the party and my Taiwanese aunt said it was better than hers!
I just tried this recipe tonight and it was soooo good! I didn't have deep fried shallots and I am guessing it would be even more delicious with that. Thank you!
You used 5 spice not in the recipe you showed
Angel, would you film how to cook abalone?
Just made this and it’s delicious !!!!! Melts in your mouth and so easy to make! Thank you!!
My pork belly isn't as dark or as red as yours. I used the same ingredients and process. :-/
You mention 5 spice in your comments when you taste the dish, but do not list 5-spice powder in the ingredients. Do you add 5-spice and how much?
Just tried this and its delicious!
Looks delicious! Would love it if you make more instant pot recipes!
Love your recipes and videos ! My hubby loves the dishes .
Here we go, Angel!! Love your recipes. Instant Pot – Wow.
Wow!it looks so delicious!
Lovely recipe. I've made your instant pot version twice and it's come out beautifully both times. I do end up with a lot of leftover braising liquid, though and it seems like a waste to throw it away. Do you have any recommendations for ways to reuse the braising liquid?
I wonder you dont use five spice powder in this recipe or I missed that part some how
