Instant Pot Pork Adobo Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once hot, add oil and pork pieces. Cook until meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and bay leaf; mix to combine. Turn off Saute mode.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove pork to a medium bowl and keep hot. Pour out half of the liquid and reserve.
• Turn on Saute mode again. Stir tapioca starch into remaining hot liquid in the pot to create a slurry. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add in reserved liquid if sauce is too thick, 2 tablespoons at a time, or until desired consistency is achieved.

Steps:

• Season the chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Turn an Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to the high saute setting and add the oil. Once it's shimmering, but not smoking, add half the chicken pieces and brown on both sides, about 7 minutes. Remove with tongs to a plate and brown the remaining chicken pieces.
• Return all the chicken to the multi-cooker and add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, onion and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot® back to the high saute setting. Let the sauce come to a boil and reduce it until dark brown and thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Transfer the chicken and sauce to a serving platter, sprinkle with scallions and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, brown sugar, and crushed peppercorns in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir bay leaves into the sauce.
• Line the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with onion slices. Place chicken thighs on top of onions and pour vinegar-soy sauce over top. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Release pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Using tongs, transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Select Saute function and cook until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Place chicken under the preheated broiler, and broil until skin is crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer thighs to a serving plate and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Steps:

• In the bottom of the Instant Pot pot, mix together chicken broth, onion, garlic, pepper, adobo sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Instant Pot and make sure that the chicken is mostly covered by the sauce.
• Place lid on top of Instant Pot and turn valve to SEALING. Press MANUAL button (or PRESSURE COOK button) and set timer to 15 minutes (22 minutes if chicken is frozen).
• When chicken is finished cooking, move valve to VENTING and do a quick release of the pressure.
• Remove chicken and transfer to a plate or cutting board (leaving liquid in the pot).Shred or slice the chicken.
• You can use the chicken in tacos, burritos, on top of salads, or even in a bowl.
• To assemble your own bowl, place rice in the bottom of the bowl. Top with cooked chicken, pinto or black beans, guacamole, corn, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese.
