Steps
- Step 1
Pat the pork chunks dry and season all over with the salt.
5 min
- 2 lb boneless country-style pork ribs
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- Step 2
Set the pressure cooker to its sauté or browning setting (or use a stovetop pressure cooker over medium-high heat) and add the oil. Brown the pork in two batches, about 4 minutes per batch, turning once; it doesn't need to be cooked through. Move the browned pork to a plate.
10 min
- 2 lb boneless country-style pork ribs
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- Step 3
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook 2 minutes more, pressing them with your spoon so they start to break down. Pour in the fish sauce and let it sizzle for 30 seconds.
6 min
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- Step 4
Return the pork and any juices to the pot. Add the water and the tamarind soup base and stir to dissolve. Lock the lid on, set to high pressure, and cook for 25 minutes.
25 min, hands-off
- 2 lb boneless country-style pork ribs
- 8 cups water
- 1 package tamarind soup base mix (1.4 oz / 40 g)
- Step 5
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining steam and open the lid carefully, away from your face. The pork should be fork-tender.
10 min, hands-off
- Step 6
Set the pot back to sauté or medium heat and bring the broth to a simmer. Add the daikon and cook 5 minutes, then add the green beans and whole chiles and cook until both are just tender, about 5 minutes more.
10 min
- 1 daikon radish (about 12 oz)
- 8 oz green beans or long beans
- 2 long green chiles (siling haba)
- Step 7
Turn off the heat, add the spinach, and stir just until it wilts, about 1 minute. Taste the broth and add more fish sauce until it tastes savory and clearly sour. Ladle into bowls and serve with hot rice and a small dish of fish sauce for dipping the pork.
2 min
- 5 oz baby spinach
- fish sauce, for serving
- 4 cups hot cooked white rice
