Ingredients

250 g pork fillet sliced, this is about half a pork fillet
2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
10 peppercorns Sichuan peppercorns not essential if you don’t have them, it’ll be nice without too. You might see them as Szechuan peppercorns too
½ cabbage sliced
2 or 3 carrots thickly sliced

Instructions

Slice the pork fillet and add to inner pot with the sauces, spices and peppercorns. Mix well.
250 g pork fillet, 2 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice, 10 peppercorns Sichuan peppercorns
Let it marinade a bit while you slice the cabbage and the carrot and add to the inner pot and stir to mix well.
½ cabbage, 2 or 3 carrots
Pressure cook for 5 minutes. 10 minutes natural pressure release or just let it go to Keep Warm. Open up and stir well once all pressure has been released

Notes

Doubling the ingredients? No need to double the cooking time, it stays the same. You should however be mindful of the filling rules at all times.

You can double up this recipe, even triple it but always be mindful of the filling rules, for this type of recipe you can only fill up to the ⅔ line with all ingredients.

When a recipe has ingredients that expand or foam up (grains, rice, pasta, pulses, etc.), make sure you only fill up to half way with all ingredients.

*Terminology

Quick pressure release (QPR, also called quick release or QR) means venting the steam as soon as the pressure cooking process finishes, i.e. moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.

Natural pressure release (NPR, also called natural release or NR) means letting the float valve pop back down of its own accord, so basically you don’t need to do anything at the end and can keep your feet up. If it takes over 15 minutes, you're ok to release the rest of the steam (by turning the steam release handle to Venting) that may be left in order to unlock and open the lid.

Sometimes you'll see me talk of a combination of NPR followed by a QPR. For example a recipe may have a 4 minute NPR followed by a QPR. You wait for 4 minutes at the end of the pressure cooking time and then do a QPR by moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
