Cooking StepsHow to cook Rice Cooker Pork with Dried Oysters and Shiitake Mushrooms step by step
-
Step 1 DetailPrep: 1) For the pork, choose pork cheek, marbled pork shoulder, or small pork shank (avoid pork neck or the tough end of shoulder). Lightly salt both sides and marinate for 1 hour, then drain off the blood water. 2) Cut the skinless pork fat into thick chunks. 3) Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and dried oysters until rehydrated, then slice the mushrooms into thick pieces and halve the oysters. Mix with crushed rock sugar and light soy sauce (do this right before adding to the rice cooker).
-
Step 2 DetailAfter draining, the pork surface should be fairly dry. Shake off any remaining blood water (if any) — do not rinse. Place the whole piece of pork at the bottom of the rice cooker. Layer the pork fat chunks and the mushroom-oyster mixture on top. Close the lid and press the cook button. Once the rice cooker indicates it’s done, let it sit for another 10–20 minutes. Before serving, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and toss with the cooking juices. The juices are incredible over rice!
