  • Add the meat from step 1, the broth, ginger, and Japanese leeks to the pressure cooker, and turn on the heat.
  • After bringing it to a boil and it has started to pressurize, reduce to a low heat, and stew for 25 minutes.
  • After the pressure has dissipated, turn the heat on again.
  • Once it has come to a boil and has started to pressurize, reduce to low heat, and stew for 25 minutes.
