Super tender pressure cooker pork belly and crunchy quinoa rice
Dedicated to the pigs and pig farmers of Australia
On Thursday night I enjoyed some super tender pork belly at The Hellenic Club in Woden. I felt like eating more pork.
Last week I cooked my version of chicken rice. It wasn’t
There’s nothing special about this recipe. It’s pretty simple and not too expensive. The only equipment you need is a pressure cooker.
The quinoa and rice combined nicely to become crunchy which was an added bonus.

Questions and answers
Surely one meal of super tender pork belly is enough in one week?
In my humble opinion, you can’t have too much pork belly, especially super tender pork belly. The meal I had at the Hellenic Club on Thursday evening was nice, but the gravy was a little too salty. The meat was really nice, so I wanted something different but with pork belly.
Did you really only eat one strip of pork belly? I thought you are a human macrophage!
Yep because I’m going to cook the remaining strips of belly pork tomorrow night.
How do you make the quinoa rice crunchy?
I figured if I only used four cups of stock it would get absorbed and the quinoa rice would be firm and hopefully the quinoa rice touching the cooking vessel would get nice and crunchy.

Final thoughts
- Do you like crunchy rice?
- Have you ever combined quinoa and rice?
- Do you like belly pork?
You know you had me at pork belly! \ooo/ 🙂
When pork belly doesn’t cause drooling, I know we must not be well 😃
It looks like a good filling meal, Gaz. I don’t mind crunchy rice at all, but as you know, not a huge fan of pork or belly pork or pork belly. Just not my taste no matter how you cook it and what gravy or sauce you douse it with. But I guess if you like it enough, nothing wrong with eating it more than once a week 😀
I finished off my pork tonight. I think it may form another post next week 😃
Maybe it will be a different pork kind of dish.
That’s the plan 😃😃😃
I do love pork belly! But only when it’s soft and melting like this 😀
As much as I love crackling, when it melts in my mouth, I’m so happy 🤤😋
My pressure cooker is a stove top one would the cooking time be the same?
I reckon once the pressure has developed and the valve starts to dance.
I’ve just ordered a pressure cooker and I’m looking for recipes to try it out – Thanks.
I hope it brings you many years of happiness 😃👍
That looks lovely, Gary, and I’m thinking I need to buy myself a pressure cooker. I love pork belly, but don’t cook it often because it’s a hassle. Not in the pressure cooker though! I like crunchy rice but haven’t had it very often. My husband buys quite a few of those easy cook grain packs and they often include quinoa and rice.
I hope you can get a pressure cooker Emma and have a good. Tomorrow night I’ll do the remaining pork belly strips in the oven and hopefully get some crackling 😃😃😃
