Recipe Notes

  • Prepare in a pressure cooker. Omit water. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.

  • Gluten-Free: Replace soy sauce with tamari or use gluten-free soy sauce, such as Kikkoman.

  • Vegetarian: Replace chicken with 16 oz extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed to remove excess moisture, and cut into 2-inch cubes (or size of your choice).
