Instructions
- Marinate Pork: Use a fork to poke lots of holes all over the pork as deep as your fork allows. Marinate the pork for 30 minutes to 2 hours in a ziploc bag with air squeezed out. Remove the pork and marinade from the bag. Pour 1 cup (250ml) of water into the Ziploc bag and mix it with the remaining marinade sticking onto the bag.
- Pressure Cook Pork: Pour the marinade mixture in Instant Pot pressure cooker, then place the marinated pork butt meat in a steamer basket in Instant Pot. Season the marinated pork with a pinch of kosher salt on both sides. Close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 18 minutes + 12 minutes Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.
- Apply Honey Sauce: Mix 2 tbsp (30 ml) regular soy sauce with honey in a small bowl. *Pro Tip: This sauce is to give some killer sweetness and color to the outer layer of the pork butt meat. Brush this honey sauce generously onto the pork butt meat.
- Broil Pork in Oven: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pork in oven and broil for roughly 4 - 6 minutes per side until the honey sauce on both sides are browned with some black bits.
- Serve: Serve the tasty char siu with rice or noodles and the leftover honey sauce on the side. Enjoy~ :)
