Xpost- Instant Pot Thit Kho recipe and a IP group?

Cross post from the Vsg boards- thought some here might be interested-

I have had a second person ask if I would be intereted in starting an Instant Pot (pressure cooker) group. Initially I thought it better to post on the main Vsg board so newbies could learn how helfpul the IP is for our diet. But if there is an interest (and it would spare cluttered posts on the vsg board) I would be happy to start a group. If you are interested either reply to the post or PM me.

Now for the recipe for those interested- Thit Kho is a vietnimese dish of carmel stewed pork traditionally served over rice. You could used riced cauiflower instead of rice to drop the carbs. There is sugar used in the caramel sauce. If you want to avoid that maybe substitute Waldon Farms Caramel sauce?? Anyway, it is actually easy- but requires some cook time in the IP.

2-3 Pounds Pork Butt roast (skin on ideally)

3 TB fish sauce (get it at Trader Joe)

1/2 onion sliced

2 tsp minced garlic

3 TB sugar

2 tsp oil

1 bottle Zico coconu****er (or similar brand)

8 hard boiled eggs, shells off (5 min high pressure, 5 min NR, 5 min ice bath- peels like a breeeze)

More water if needed to cover pork

Cooked white rice/riced cauiflower

Directions:

1. Cut pork into 2x6 inch slabs, leaving the fat on. Marinate at least 30 min up to overnight in the fish sauce, onion, and garlic.
2. Cook and peel eggs. (I start this right before starting the next step and the timing works out Ok if you use 1 cup water, steam function, eggs on a trivet.)
3. In a hot egg pan, cook the caramel sauce: add the sugar and oil. As the sugar melts swirl it around. It will turn toasty brown, then start to foam. Once it starts to foam it is done. Remove from heat. Once your IP is clean and dry from eggs, add caramel sauce back into the liner. 
4. Add pork slabs with marinade into the pot. Lightly brown using the sautee function.
5. Pour over 1 bottle coconu****er. Add enough regular water to cover the pork. You can omit the coconu****er, but there will be a little less flavor if you do. 
6. Add in peeled and boiled eggs. Stir. High pressure 45 minutes, 15 min NR. Serve over rice.

I know it uses some sugar, but there is a lot of broth that goes with it. I am planning on not consuming the broth- just the meat and egg over riced cauiflower.  I got this recipe off of the Facebook group from a man *****cently posted a video on how to do it. If I can find the post I will come back and post the link. Enjoy!

 

If you want to create an IP group you can open it up on here.  You'll have your own board and can invite others to join if you want it by invitation only.  Let me know and we can help you get it started 

Just checking to see how much of an interest there is before launching. 

Sounds good.   I'd definitely be interested in joining.  I want one of those and am very unsure about what can be done in them. I've heard great things, but a IP recipe group would be awesome. 

Here is a link for anyone intersted  http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/action/search/?q=instant+pot

I'll join it :) I wanted to start a thread in here that would just be continuously updated but no one else used it, and now I cant find it when I search lol

I just made some delicious (and super easy) ribs last night!

I would too.  I search for your recipes all the time.  Having them in one place would be great.  We could put the link in our signature line area and spread the word!  Fingers crossed 

Thank you for the recipes. I am loving my pot 

Good idea about the signature. I will update mine in a bit. Here you go-
