Ingredients

Teriyaki sauce:

  • 3 tablespoon sweet rice wine mirin
  • 3 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon ginger grated

Rice

Other Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper optional
  • 3 teaspoon corn starch
  • ¼ cup water

Garnish(optional)

  • ½ teaspoon brown sesame seeds
  • ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients for Teriyaki sauce and set aside. Mix corn starch in ¼ cup of water and set aside.
  • Optional Step if you want to make Pot in Pot Rice - Add rice and water in a stainless steel bowl and set aside.
  • Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat oil. Place the chicken and brown the chicken for a minute. Flip the chicken over and turn the sauté mode off. (Note: Browning the chicken is an optional step and you can skip it). Pour over the teriyaki sauce and black pepper. Do not mix.
  • If making Pot in Pot Rice - Place a tall trivet over the chicken in the Instant Pot insert. Place the rice bowl over the trivet.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid with pressure valve to sealing. Cook on Pressure Cook (HI) for 6 minutes followed by 10-minute natural pressure release.
  • Open the Instant Pot. Carefully take out the rice bowl and the trivet. Stir in corn starch mixed in water and set the Instant Pot to saute mode.
  • Cook for 5 minutes as the sauce thickens. Turn the Instant Pot off. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Enjoy hot with steamed rice.
