Method

Heat the oil in the pressure cooker over a high heat, then add the onion and pork. Fry, stirring, until the pork is browned on all sides, then stir in the sugar or honey along with the garlic and, if using, ginger.
Cook for a minute more, then add the kimchi. Pour in the stock/ water, then season with salt and pepper. Close the lid. Bring up to pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to drop pressure naturally.
Add the soy sauce, taste for seasoning, then serve topped with spring onions, coriander and a drizzle of your preferred oil.
