Chinese Pork Ribs (Pressure Cooker)

This recipe for Phil's Chinese Pork Ribs is inspired by Hip Pressure Cooking, United States.
These are delicious and easy to make. I used my 9 liter (9½ quart) stove top pressure cooker with a pressure of 80 kPa (12 psi) for this, so an electric pressure cooker will be the same. Follow all safety precautions for your model of pressure cooker.

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker
  • Steamer Tray

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ kilos pork ribs, (2½-3 lb)

For the Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1½ tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup garlic cloves, smashed and minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger, or 1 tablespoon fresh grated
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Chili Garlic sauce
  • ½ cup spring onion, sliced, white and green parts

Additional Items

  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 cup water
  • spring onion, sliced, for garnish
  • fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut the ribs into 1 bone pieces. (I also started to add the spring onion and garlic.)
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all the Marinade ingredients and mix together.
  • Add the ribs to the marinade and mix to coat all pieces well. Marinate the ribs at room temp for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes have passed, sprinkle on the corn starch and mix that into the mixture.
  • Add 1 cup of water to your pressure cooker, place the steamer tray or trivet in the cooker, then add the contents of the mixing bowl (ribs and marinade) to the pressure cooker.
  • Add the lid and lock, place the weight (jiggler) on the top, and place on high heat. When the jiggler starts to move and vent pressure (indicating full pressure), reduce heat to low or medium low, just enough heat to maintain full pressure. Set your timer for 15 minutes.
  • When 15 minutes have passed, turn off the heat and move the cooker to an unused burner and allow a natural release of pressure, meaning you have to do nothing.
  • When you have indications of zero pressure in the cooker, about 15-20 minutes after you removed it from the heat, remove the weight then remove the lid.
  • Remove the ribs with tongs to a serving plate, drizzle some of the liquid over the ribs, sprinkle with spring onion and coriander as desired.
  • Serve with rice on the side.
