Japanese Carnitas

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour
Serves: 4

Directions

1. Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper.

2. Add the oil to the insert of the Instant Pot and set to sauté high. When the oil is hot, add the pork cubes and brown, flipping as needed.

3. Add Bachan’s Gluten Free Barbecue Sauce, onion, cinnamon stick, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, and 1/2 cup of water (or broth of choice). Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to 45 minutes on high pressure.

4. Quick release when the 45 minutes are up. Remove the cubes of pork from the Instant Pot and use two forks to shred. Transfer the shredded pork to a cast iron skillet and crisp over medium high heat, adding braising liquid from the Instant Pot as needed. Taste and season with extra Bachan’s Gluten Free Barbecue Sauce, then serve up as desired in tacos, burritos, bowls, and more.

Gluten-Free

Featuring gluten-free tamari, same bold flavor

Great as a sauce or marinade on meat, fish, veggies, rice & anything in-between.

Our Gluten-Free Japanese Barbecue Sauce has the same bold flavor as our Original family recipe, but is made with tamari instead of soy sauce. Tamari doesn’t have gluten, so neither does this recipe. Some say tamari has a richer, more refined umami flavor, but you be the judge. Our crave-worthy flavor always comes from simple, clean ingredients. Let's eat! Itadakimasu!
