Pressure-Cooker Teriyaki Pork Roast is a flavorful fusion of sweet and savory that turns a simple pork roast into a tender, succulent meal with an Asian-inspired twist. The pressure cooker speeds up the process, locking in the rich teriyaki flavors as the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. The homemade teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, honey, and garlic brings a perfect balance of sweetness and umami. Serve this with rice and steamed vegetables for a wholesome and satisfying dinner.
Ingredients:
- 2 lb pork shoulder roast
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode and heat the sesame oil. Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and water.
- Return the pork to the pot, making sure it’s fully coated in the sauce.
- Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork, set the cooker to sauté, and stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water). Cook until the sauce thickens.
- Slice the pork and serve with the sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
Enjoy this tender, flavorful Pressure-Cooker Teriyaki Pork Roast as a delightful centerpiece for any meal!
