Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl combine water, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and ginger. Add chicken chunks and stir to make sure all pieces are well-coated. Pour all of the bowl’s contents into Instant Pot. Set to pressure cook on High for 5 minutes.

While cooking, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water and stir until you have a smooth slurry.

Once done, turn pressure valve to “Release.” Remove the lid, press “Saute.” Carefully pour the slurry over the chicken, stirring gently until the sauce thickens.
