  1. Very delicious and so easy and quick. I served over Green Giant riced cauliflower and sweet potato to make it lower carb.

  2. This is really good, but I used pork shoulder and it took 90 minutes to get it cooked right. Also, freezing the peppers gave them a weird taste, I would just add fresh next time.

    1. Hi Jeni, For this recipe, you would quarter the pork roast before freezing. By quartering, we mean cut into 4 pieces (slice once horizontally and slice once vertically). I hope this helps! ~OAMM

    1. Yes, I’m sure you could substitute a tenderloin. However, you would need to adjust the cooking time according to how large your tenderloin is. For a 1.5 lb Pork Tenderloin, cooked from fresh, you would cook for 20 minutes on high pressure, and a complete natural pressure release.

    1. When cooking from fresh, liquids in the cooked rice and soy sauce are much more abundant, vs when cooking from frozen where there is less liquid so it helps the pot come to pressure more quickly. Pressure cooking has a lot of variables, so please feel free to experiment and add a little more or less water/liquid to fit how you use your instant pot. 🙂

      We hope this helps!

  7. We didn’t love this recipe. I thought it needed more spice, it was sort of bland. I added extra ginger and soy sauce the second time I made it and it still wasn’t a favorite. My daughter who came home from college enjoyed it, she said it was way better than dorm food!
