Well, I finally got an Instant Pot! I've heard so much about them, and how versatile they are. So I asked for one for Christmas and my parents gave it to me! I've only tried a few things so far, but I can't wait to continue to explore all of the options. One of the first things I made is instant pot beed and broccoli and I was sold on the instant pot.

I love being able to throw everything in one pot. I've always liked one-pan meals (I made an entire cookbook of them) so this is perfect. I didn't realize that it's more than just a pressure cooker. You can use it to sauté, slow cook, and so many other cooking methods.

This recipe uses a combination of the pressure cooking and sautéing features. It was a perfect recipe to introduce me to the instant pot and will be for you, too!

This meal reminds me of something I would find at our local Chinese food buffet. It has some of those oriental flavors with both soy sauce and hoisin sauce. The flavor reminded me a bit of the General Tso's Chicken, but that could be the sauces.

I learned a few things about the instant pot and pressure cooking when I made this recipe. Most recipes don't include the time for the cooker to pressurize. This takes about 10-15 minutes in addition to the cooking time. Also, when you release the steam manually, it's very fast and loud and started me the first time! I made sure to wear an oven mitt so the steam doesn't burn my hands.
