- prep TIME 5 mins
- total TIME 55 mins
Ingredients (9)
- 24 oz lean pork shoulder cut into 5 or 6 pieces
- 5 cloves garlic quartered
- 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 3/4 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 12 oz green cabbage cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tbsp scallion chopped
- 3 1/2 cups cooked medium-grain rice
INSTRUCTIONS
Poke each piece of pork shoulder to create small pockets (3 or 4 pockets per piece) and stick a piece of garlic into each pocket. Repeat until all of the pieces have garlic in them.
Add the pork into the Instant Pot with 1/2 cup broth, 3/4 tsp Himalayan salt, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp liquid smoke. Close the lid, turn the steam handle to 'sealed', select 'meat stew’ mode, adjust the timer to 45 minutes, and let the machine cook.
Place a kitchen rug onto the steam handle and use a spoon to switch it to ‘venting’. Carefully open the lid, put the meat into a bowl, and add 12 oz cabbage to the pot. Select ‘sauté’ mode and allow it to cook for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the cooked pork.
As the cabbage finishes cooking, add the meat back and stir everything together.
Sprinkle chopped scallion on top to garnish.
Serve the meat with rice.
