Instructions
Stir together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, chile garlic sauce, garlic, and ginger until combined.
Add the diced chicken to the Instant Pot inner pot.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the diced chicken.
Close and lock the lid. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing.
Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 3 minutes.
Once the cooking time ends, carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting to release the pressure.
While the pressure is releasing, stir the cornstarch and remaining tablespoon of chicken broth together in a small bowl.
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the mixture in the pot.
Press sauté, and cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli, and serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Notes
Salt:
I use reduced sodium soy sauce and no salt chicken broth to keep the sauce from being too salty.
Heat:
If you'd like to add some heat to this sauce, feel free to add some sriracha or additional chile garlic sauce.
Sugar:
The sugar helps to balance out the sauce. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to taste.
