Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 cup diced yellow onion
• 2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
• 8 ounces thick cut bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 4 (15 ounce) cans cut green beans, with liquid
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 pounds daikon (white radish), peeled and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon and cook until almost crispy, about 8 minutes. Take your time cooking the bacon in order to render out all the fat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Step 3

Pour in vinegar and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in beans and their liquid; season with salt and pepper. Stir in radishes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
