You will need:
2-3 chiken breasts, cut into 1-2 inch cubes
1 TBS finely grated ginger
1 TBS finely grated garlic
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 TBS soy sauce
6 TBS vinegar

Dump first list of ingredients into the pot, mix it up and press Manual button, make sure it is set to high pressure and set for 4 minutes. When it is done quick release the pressure and press the Saute button. Mix the cold water and corn starch. Add in the corn starch mixture and stir until it is thickened up. Mix in the sesame oil.
I saute broccoli, zucchini, shredded carrots, and sugar snap peas in lard or avocado oil with some salt, pepper and soy sauce. Also serve with fried rice!

"Instant Pot" Pot Pie Casserole
Pot Pie Casserole for the instant pot
16oz box/bag of noodles
1 or 2 chicken breasts cubed into 1" pieces
1 small bag of mixed veggies (with carrots, corn and peas)
4 cups water
2 TBS chicken better than bouillon
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp of garlic powder
dash of onion powder
Added AFTER pressure cooking
1 cup heavy cream (when I don't have any I sub for 3/4 cup whole milk, just saute a little longer)
I've been sauteing the chicken in a little avocado oil for a minute or two before cooking but I think it'll be fine just dumping it in so I'm going to try that next time.
So pretty much all you do is dump all of the ingredients into the pot. Set it on pressure cook or manual (high pressure) depending on what model you have for 4 minutes. Make sure the valve is set to seal and let it do it's thing. Once it is done Quick release the pressure. Press the Saute button and add the cream and stir until thickened up! This is probably the easiest instant pot meal I make!
Stay tuned for non-fried orange chicken, tamales, coconut chicken curry and other instant pot meals!!

Salt Potatoes
This one is really easy and very yummy. We used to get these when we went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant, they were smothered in butter and so so good! I made them for the first time for thanksgiving and they were great!

English Toffee
Here is a treat sure to impress and perfect for the holidays! It has very few ingredients and is easy to make! Growing up my mom always made this during Christmas time along with lots of other goodies to hand out to neighbors and friends. It is definitely a favorite!
English Toffee
1 C sugar
2 TBS water
1/2 lbs ( 2 sticks) real butter
2 C chocolate chips
1/2 C chopped nuts
Combine first three ingredients in sauce pan. Stir on high until amber color (dark yellow turning brown). If you don't cook it long enough it will be sugary and grainy. I always cook it a little longer than I think it needs because I start to get a little panicked that it is going to burn and take it off too early so let it keep cooking until it is a really nice amber color!!
Pour onto cookie sheet. Spread smooth. Immediately put chocolate on, let melt and spread evenly on top of the toffee.
Sprinkle nuts on, I usually leave some without nuts because I prefer it that way. Let it set. When cool break into pieces by putting knife in straight up and bringing knife down.
