INSTANT POT® GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN

Instant Pot® General Tso's Chicken image

Why choose takeout when you can make this at home in the Instant Pot® with better results? This recipe can easily be doubled to feed four. You'll just need to do the chicken in two separate batches. All other directions remain the same. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve over rice, if desired.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (16 ounce) package chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces
1 egg, beaten
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ginger paste
¼ cup chicken broth

Steps:

Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, tomato paste, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
Place egg in a shallow bowl. Place cornstarch in a second shallow bowl. Dip chicken pieces in egg, coat in cornstarch, then place on a plate.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and heat for about 1 minute. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Stir sesame seeds, garlic, and ginger paste into the pot. Whisk in chicken broth and the reserved sauce until combined; cook for 2 minutes. Press Cancel button. Add chicken to the pot and stir to coat.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the quick release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Stir the chicken.
Select Saute function again and cook until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.

Start by cutting the chicken into 2-3 inch chunks, I tend to leave them a bit larger as the pressure cooker tends to make the chicken very moist and this helps to avoid breaking the chicken pieces.
Heat up your pressure cooker: press Sauté -> click on the Adjust button -> select More to get the Sauté More function, which means that the food will be sautéed over medium-high heat. Wait for the Instant Pot indicator to read HOT.
Add the oil to the hot IP, wait one minute for the oil to heat up and add the chicken. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times. Cook until it just starts to get golden. This step can also be done on the stove if you want, as the instant pot doesn't really brown the chicken too well.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot: ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar and water.

In a large bowl or large zip-top bag, combine chicken, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until well-coated. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.(You can skip this stove-top step if you prefer or are in a pinch. Just add chicken directly to slow cooker. The chicken will not have that crispy coating) Cook chicken (in batches) about 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Transfer chicken into the slow cooker. Pour sauce over top.
Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE (skip this step and just cook on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK (high) for 5 minutes if you are in a pinch or prefer. The chicken won't have that crispy coating.) Allow pan to heat up for a few minutes then add oil. Cook chicken in batches (placing the browned chicken on a paper-towel lined plate) about 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Once all the chicken is browned, add back to the Instant Pot and pour sauce over top.

If you're going for the dump and start method, then add all of the ingredients to the pot (except for the cornstarch) and skip to step 5. If you decide to do the saute steps, then in a bowl, mix the chicken with cornstarch until it's well coated.
On the Instant Pot press on SAUTE (on low) and heat the oil. Add the chicken, and brown it until lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pot onto a plate and set aside. Work in batches.
Deglaze the pot by adding ¼ cup of water, and with a wooden spoon or a heat resistant spatula scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. I recommend discarding the liquid and the chicken cornstarch bits that were stuck to the pot to get a smooth sauce.
On the SAUTE setting, cook the garlic, ginger, and chili flakes for 30 seconds. Then add 1 cup of the General Tso's Sauce, put the chicken back in and give everything a mix.

Place your chicken into a air tight container or large ziplock bag. Sprinkle the arrowroot powder on the chicken, and shake to coat so each piece is covered.
Heat a large skillet to medium high heat, add in cooking oil to coat. Place chicken inside the pan once hot, and saute on each side for a few minutes until the outside is lightly browned. Place the chicken inside your slow cooker.
In a medium sized bowl mix together these ingredients: coconut aminos or soy sauce, vinegar, tomato paste, honey, almond butter, sugar, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, and water. Whisk until somewhat smooth (may be chunky from the paste and nut butter). Pour on top of the chicken. Note that if your slow cooker generally cooks pretty fast, it might need more liquid. Add in an additional 1/2 cup water or chicken broth, and you can always thicken the sauce at the end.
