Instructions

Cut the pork shoulder into two inch strips.
Grind the sichuan peppercorns, fennel seed, clove, and star anise into a coarse powder and mix with the honey, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cinnamon, red fermented tofu, and honey to make a marinade.
Marinate the pork strips with the marinade in a large ziploc bag for at least 2 hours.
Pour the ingredients of the ziploc bag into the pressure cooker. Pressure cook on high heat for 18 minutes and then let come to a natural release (about 12 minutes).
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Transfer the pork to a wire rack and brush with some of the caramelized sauce from the bottom of the pressure cooker. Cook in the heated over for 4-6 minutes on each side until both sides are browned.
