Instructions
Instructions
- Start by turning your pressure cooker on sauté mode. Throw in the ground chicken or pork. Break it apart with a spatula, stir it so it browns evenly and cooks through with that tender pull feeling. It takes just a few minutes.
- Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook everything together for a minute or two until the kitchen smells fresh and spicy.2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger, 4 cloves garlic, 4 pieces green onions
- Stir in the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Keep it moving so it wilts a bit but stays with a little crisp bite. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes at this stage.16 ounces coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to spread flavors evenly. Cook for 1 or 2 more minutes letting everything soak up the sauce.3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Switch off sauté mode. Ensure broth depth is just right with no extra water needed since veggies release moisture. Seal the pressure cooker lid tight. Watch the float valve rise and valve hiss start, signaling pressure build is working.
- Cook under high pressure for about 2 minutes. Quick release the pressure carefully. Open the lid and sprinkle the green parts of the green onions, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds on top. Serve hot.4 pieces green onions, fresh cilantro, sesame seeds
