Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic , grated
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 2 lbs (900g) chicken breast or thighs, skinless, boneless
- green onion Optional, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and ground black pepper into your Instant Pot. Stir to mix well.
- Add the chicken and toss it well. Then spread out the chicken with minimal overlap.
- Close the lid and seal the valve. Press the “manual” button, set the pressure to "high", and set the timer to 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking is done, let it natural release for 5 minutes, then use fast release. Once the pressure has released, you will hear a small click. Open the lid and let cool for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
- How to serve: Now you can serve the chicken while it’s hot. Toss it with the sauce then serve it over steamed rice or noodles as a main dish. You can also use the shredded chicken (with or without the sauce) as a salad topping, for making wraps, or in quesadillas. You can also use it in recipes such as Bang Bang Chicken, Cold Chicken Noodles, and Korean Noodle Soup.
- How to store: Store the chicken in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
