食材

1/3 cup Vegetable or Chicken Stock

1/3 cup Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (light or dark)

2 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce

2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

2 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp Grated Fresh Ginger

1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil

1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (this will provide a medium level of heat; feel free to add more, or adjust by adding more after cooking)

1 1/2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, chopped into cubes

1 1/2 cups Long Grain Rice (Basmati rice works really well with this method)

1 1/2 cups Water

1 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 Tbsp Water

10 oz Broccoli Florets (preferably steam-in-bag broccoli)

1 Tbsp Chopped Green Onions / Scallions (optional)

步驟

In the bowl of the Instant Pot, combine all of the ingredients for Chicken and Sauce - stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, Hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and chicken. (Note: If you don't want to add the pot-in-pot rice, skip ahead to Step #5.)

Top the chicken and sauce with a 2” rack then with a 7-cup glass bowl. (Be sure that both the rack and bowl are approved for use in the Instant Pot.)

Rinse the rice well.

Fill the bowl with rice and 1 ½ cups water.

Close and lock the lid.

Set the steam valve to Sealing.

Cook on manual / high pressure for 6 minutes.

When done cooking, leave the machine on Warming (most machines automatically revert to this after cooking). Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. (Tip: I like to set a kitchen timer so that I don’t get distracted and forget.)

Manually release any remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the bowl of rice and rack and set aside, covered, to keep warm.

Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Turn on the Instant Pot’s saute function to Normal / Medium.

Whisk together 1 Tbsp water and cornstarch.

When sauce is simmering, pour water-cornstarch mixture into sauce. Simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.

Turn off saute function. Taste sauce. If you’d like it to be spicier, stir in some more red pepper flakes or some hot sauce.

Return chicken to pot and stir to combine.

Steam broccoli in the microwave.

Stir broccoli and green onion into chicken.

Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
