Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. pork shoulder, fat trimmed and cut into 2 inch chunks
  • 1/2 C coconut aminos
  • 1/3 C rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp chili paste
  • 1 C chicken broth
  • 4-inch chunk of ginger root, sliced
  • 2 tsp Oomph No. 5 Three Star Blend
  • 1 T sesame oil
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly torn
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In the Instant Pot, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, fish sauce, chili paste, chicken broth, ginger, and Oomph.
  2. Add the pork, lock the lid in place, seal the vent, and pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
  3. When the timer goes off, manually release the pressure, remove the pork pieces, and set it aside. Remove the ginger pieces and discard.
  4. Use a fat separator or skim the fat off the top of the liquid in the Instant Pot.
  5. Taste the liquid and adjust it for spice level, adding more chili paste if it’s needed. Add the kale to the Instant Pot, set it to sauté, and continue cooking until the kale is wilted.
  6. Add the sesame oil and turn the Instant Pot off. Add the pork pieces back into the liquid and top with green onions.
  7. Serve with roasted vegetables or baked sweet potatoes.
