Tonight’s dinner of Instant Pot Asian Honey Pork Chops was a huge hit! Our family loves Asian food and to be able to have all the cooking done in the Instant Pot, I call that a win! I will admit I like things simple. This recipe was made just for me, quick and easy yet looks like I slaved. ~grins~
Oh Instant Pot how I am learning about all the amazing things you are. Every week I see more and more how much of a time saver you are. I will admit there has been a learning curve. I am happy to say that I am figuring you out!
For this recipe my pork chops total weight was 2 lbs. I personally prefer low sodium Soy Sauce and used that. *Cooking time will vary depending on weight.
