- Place a large saucepan on high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the reserved pork ribs and cook, turning, until golden brown. Add onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the reserved toasted spices and cook for a further minute.
- Add the soy, hoisin, kecap manis, chicken stock and 400ml water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a pressure cooker. Add the pieces of pork belly and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
