char siu pork

Instant Pot Char Siu is an adaptation of the iconic Chinese pork bbq dish popular at Chinese restaurants. Hoisin, soy sauce, honey, and spices create a sweet, salty, sticky glaze that's delicious!

Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I’ve been using an oven method -really delicious, but very messy, so I don’t do it often.. Your recipe is fantastic & so much easier & sooooo delicious!
