Oil-Free and Water-Free Braised Pork (Fissler Pressure Cooker Version)

Pork belly is a love-hate relationship for many—it’s irresistible yet indulgent. While we can't eat it often, the longing remains. Occasionally making braised pork to satisfy those cravings is worth the effort. Pork belly is undeniably the most flavorful, but this time I used front leg meat. Though the texture doesn’t compare to belly, it’s less fatty. You can prepare braised pork in advance; after work, pair it with clay pot pumpkin and braised pork for a warm, aromatic meal. Add a simple stir-fried vegetable for a complete meat-and-vegetable dish, perfect for autumn and winter.

Cooking Tips

Both braising sauce and soy sauce contain salt, so there's no need to add extra salt.
