    So, when I finally feel like I have something worthy to post, I assure you it has been tested by the whole crew and received two thumbs up! Only this recipe went just a tad farther. I sent it to work in Jason’s lunch – I love meal prepping his lunches. When he reheated it, several of his coworkers stopped by to ask what smelled so darned good. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

    🧑‍🍳 Ingredients

    Pork Shoulder – I had leftovers from my grilled pork shoulder, and sliced some for this recipe. There are a lot of benefits to preparing a large cut of meat for meal prepping for the week!

    Basmati Rice – This is a light, nutty flavored rice that is primarily grown in India. I chose it as it doesn’t clump together like white rice tends to. It made it a lot easier to put in lunch containers and reheat.

    🍽️ Instructions

    Step One: Use the Instant Pot to cook the basmati rice. Combine one cup of rice with 1.25 cups of water.

    Step Two: Set the Instant Pot to “Manual” for four minutes and allow it to naturally release the pressure when it is done.

    Step Three: To prepare the sauce combine the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, mirin and rice vinegar together.

    Step Four: Place the sauce in a small sauce pan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.

    Step Five: Reduce heat to a simmer for about five minutes. This will let the sauce thicken.

    🍴 Assembly

    Scoop the basmati rice on the plate, top with slices of the pork shoulder and drizzle the Asian Sauce on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
